3w^{2}=\frac{3}{4}\times 4
Multiply both sides by 4.
3w^{2}=3
Multiply \frac{3}{4} and 4 to get 3.
3w^{2}-3=0
Subtract 3 from both sides.
w^{2}-1=0
Divide both sides by 3.
\left(w-1\right)\left(w+1\right)=0
Consider w^{2}-1. Rewrite w^{2}-1 as w^{2}-1^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
w=1 w=-1
To find equation solutions, solve w-1=0 and w+1=0.
3w^{2}=\frac{3}{4}\times 4
Multiply both sides by 4.
3w^{2}=3
Multiply \frac{3}{4} and 4 to get 3.
w^{2}=\frac{3}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
w^{2}=1
Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.
w=1 w=-1
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
3w^{2}=\frac{3}{4}\times 4
Multiply both sides by 4.
3w^{2}=3
Multiply \frac{3}{4} and 4 to get 3.
3w^{2}-3=0
Subtract 3 from both sides.
w=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3\left(-3\right)}}{2\times 3}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3 for a, 0 for b, and -3 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
w=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3\left(-3\right)}}{2\times 3}
Square 0.
w=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12\left(-3\right)}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -4 times 3.
w=\frac{0±\sqrt{36}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -12 times -3.
w=\frac{0±6}{2\times 3}
Take the square root of 36.
w=\frac{0±6}{6}
Multiply 2 times 3.
w=1
Now solve the equation w=\frac{0±6}{6} when ± is plus. Divide 6 by 6.
w=-1
Now solve the equation w=\frac{0±6}{6} when ± is minus. Divide -6 by 6.
w=1 w=-1
The equation is now solved.
