Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation, which are the numbers in front of the variables. In this case, the coefficients are 1, 24, and 23.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 1, 24, 23Step Output: Coefficients: 1, 24, 23
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the FactorsConcise Step Description: Find two numbers that multiply to 23 (the last term) and add to 24 (the coefficient of the middle term).Step Calculation: Factors of 23 that add up to 24 are 1 and 23.Step Output: Factors: 1, 23
Write Factored Form: Step Title: Write the Factored FormConcise Step Description: Write the factored form of the quadratic equation using the factors found in the previous step.Step Calculation: The factored form is (h+1)(h+23).Step Output: Factored Form: (h+1)(h+23)
