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, 18, and 81.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 1, 18, 81Step Output: Coefficients: 1, 18, 81
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the FactorsConcise Step Description: Find two numbers that multiply to 81 (the last term) and add to 18 (the coefficient of the middle term).Step Calculation: Factors of 81 that add up to 18 are 9 and 9.Step Output: Factors: 9, 9
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 (x+9)(x+9), which can also be written as (x+9)2.Step Output: Factored Form: (x+9)2
