Step 1 :Identify the quadratic in the form \(ax^2 + bx + c\): \(4w^4 - 100w^2\)
Step 2 :Notice that this is a difference of squares, which can be factored as \((a^2 - b^2) = (a - b)(a + b)\)
Step 3 :Here, \(a = 2w^2\) and \(b = 10w\)
Step 4 :Factor the expression as \((2w^2 - 10w)(2w^2 + 10w)\)
Step 5 :Notice that each term in the first factor has a common factor of \(2w\), and each term in the second factor has a common factor of \(2w\)
Step 6 :Factor out these common factors to get \(2w(w - 5)(2w(w + 5))\)
