36w^4-60w^3+16w^2
Begin by factoring out what's common for all terms:
4(9w^4-15w^3+4w^2)
4w^2(9w^2-15w+4)
4w^2(3w+4)(3w+1)

Here is the question:
36w%5E4-60w%5E3%2B16w%5E2
first take out the GCF of 4w^2 and we get
4w%5E2%289w%5E2+-+15w+%2B+4%29
second factor the trinomial to get
%284w%5E2%29%283w-1%29%283w-4%29
