Solve: Hint, write the fractions in parentheses like this: (1/18)h^2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F18%29h%5E2+-+%281%2F2%29h+%2B+1+=+0\"$ Multiply through by 18 (the LCD) to clear the fractions.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"h%5E2+-+9h+%2B+18+=+0\"$ Now factor the quadratic equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28h+-+3%29%28h+-+6%29+=+0\"$ Apply the zero products principle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"h+-+3+=+0\"$ and/or $\"h+-+6+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"h+-+3+=+0\"$ then $\"h+=+3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"h+-+6+=+0\"$ then $\"h+=+6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The roots are:
\n" ); document.write( "h = 3
\n" ); document.write( "h = 6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
