Decomposing Resource Allocation Models

You are mentoring a new hire in the operations department who is learning to simplify resource allocation models. The current model is represented by the expression u2+11u+24u^2 + 11u + 24. To decompose this expression into two binomial factors of the form (u+p)(u+q)(u + p)(u + q), state the two numerical requirements (the required product and the required sum) that the integers pp and qq must satisfy. Identify the specific pair of integers that meets these requirements for this expression and provide the final factored form.
