### Finding Zeros of Quadratic Functions

In this section, we will find all zeros of the given quadratic functions. The zeros of a function \( f(x) \) are the values of \( x \) that make \( f(x) = 0 \).

#### Functions to Consider
1. \( h(x) = x^2 - 4x + \frac{25}{4} \)
2. \( q(x) = -3x^2 + 23x - 14 \)

Please respond with the steps and calculations in the space provided below.

#### Steps to Solve
For each function, follow these steps:

1. **Set the function equal to zero:**
    - \( h(x) = 0 \) ⟹ \( x^2 - 4x + \frac{25}{4} = 0 \)
    - \( q(x) = 0 \) ⟹ \( -3x^2 + 23x - 14 = 0 \)

2. **Solve the equation for x:**
   - Use the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a} \), where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are coefficients from the quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \).

***Note:*** For the detailed explanation, it is vital to show your work step-by-step in the blank space provided.
