Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%284w%5E%28-3%29%2Az%5E%28-5%29%29%288w%29%5E2\"$ Square the last factor $\"%288W%29%5E2+=+64w%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%284w%5E%28-3%29%2Az%5E%28-5%29%29%2864w%5E2%29\"$ Multiply the integers. $\"4%2A64+=+256\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28256w%5E%28-3%29%2Az%5E%28-5%29%29%28w%5E2%29\"$ Multiply the w's by adding their exponents. $\"w%5E%28-3%29%2Aw%5E2+=+w%5E%28-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28256w%5E%28-1%29%2Az%5E%28-5%29%29\"$ Simplify by putting the factors with negative exponents into the denominator thus making the exponents positive.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28256%2F%28w%2Az%5E5%29%29\"$ or you can write this as: $\"%28-256%29%2F%28wz%5E5%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
