Solve the equation using the zero factor property.



2w(4w+1)=1



Simplify the given equation. 



  2w(4w) + 2w(1) = 1

       8w^2 + 2w = 1

   8w^2 + 2w - 1 = 0



Then factor the equation



   (4w - 1)(2w + 1) = 0



    4w - 1 = 0           2w + 1 = 0

        4w = 1               2w = -1

         w = 1/4              w = -1/2
