Q. Solve for h.h2+18h+17=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.h=____
Identify Numbers:h2+18h+17=0Find two numbers with a product of 17 and whose sum is 18.1×17=171+17=18Two numbers: 1,17
Choose Equation:h2+18h+17=0Choose the equation after splitting the middle term.18h can be written as the sum of 1h and 17h. h2+18h+17=0h2+1h+17h+17=0
Write Factored Form: Write the factored form of h2+1h+17h+17=0. h2+1h+17h+17=0h(h+1)+17(h+1)=0(h+1)(h+17)=0
Solve for h:h+1=0Solve for h.Subtract 1 from both sides. h+1−1=0−1h=−1
Solve for h:h+17=0Solve for h. Subtract 17 from both sides. h+17−17=0−17h=−17
Write Solutions: We found:h=−1h=−17Write solutions of h2+18h+17=0.Values of h: −1, −17
