Answer is :

$\sf w^2 + 3w - 4 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

Using FOIL method

Multiply first two terms,

$\sf w * w = w^2$

Multiply outside two terms.

$\sf w * 4 = 4w$

Multiply inside two terms,

$\sf -1 * w = -1w$

Multiply Last two terms,

$\sf - 1 * 4 = -4$

The given equation becomes,

$\sf w^2 + 4w - 1w - 4$

$\sf w^2 + 3w - 4 = 0$

Answer:

w² + 3w - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL.

F - first × first

O - outside

I - inside

L - last

(w - 1)(w + 4) =

F - first × first: w × w = w²

O - outside: w × 4 = 4w

I - inside: -1 × w = -w

L - last: -1 × 4 = -4

= w² + 4w - w - 4

Now combine like terms.

= w² + 3w - 4
