To find the intersection points, you take x^2 - 4x + 9 = -2x + 17

This gives x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0,

which factorises to (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0, giving the solutions x = 4 or x = -2

From the graph, we can see that x is positive, meaning x = 4, so a = 4.

Substituting x = 4 into y = -2x + 17, we get y = -2(4) + 17 = 9, so b = 9.

a + b = 4 + 9 = 13. The answer is B.

Given that a room is shaped like a golden rectangle, and the length is 29 ft with the ratio of  golden rectangle being (1+√5):2, thus the width of the room will be:
ratio of golden triangle=(length if the room)/(width of the room)
let the width be x
thus plugging the values in the expression we get:
29/x=(1+√5)/2
solving for x we get:
x/29=2/(1+√5)
thus
x=(29×2)/(1+√5)
answer is:
x=58/(1+√5)
or
 byrationalizing the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by (1-√5)
58/(1+√5)×(1-√5)/(1-√5)
=[58(1-√5)]/1-5
=(58√5-58)/4
