$\frac{h - 3}{h^{2} + 8 h + 12}$

Step 1

Consider the form $x^{2} + b x + c$ . Find a pair of integers whose product is $c$ and whose sum is $b$ . In this case, whose product is $12$ and whose sum is $8$ .

$2, 6$

Step 2

Write the factored form using these integers.

$\frac{h - 3}{(h + 2) (h + 6)}$
