Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-11 + -1w2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-11 + -1w2 = 0

Solving
-11 + -1w2 = 0

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + -1w2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + -1w2 = 0 + 11
-1w2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: 0 + 11 = 11
-1w2 = 11

Divide each side by '-1'.
w2 = -11

Simplifying
w2 = -11

The solution to this equation could not be determined.

This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + w = 0

Solving
1 + w = 0

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + w = 0 + -1
w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
w = -1

Simplifying
w = -1
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(1 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1w = 0

Solving
1 + -1w = 0

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -1
-1w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1w = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 1

Simplifying
w = 1
Solution
w = {-1, 1}
