Answer:
(2,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it rises by 2 and runs by 1
1. x^2 + 13x + 36 = 0
using powerful & time-sparing quadratic formula :
delta = 13^2 - 4*1*36 = 25 = 5^2
x1 and x2 = (-13 -/+ 5)/2 = -9 and -4
x^2 + 13x + 36 = (x+9)(x+4)
2. other way : complete the square
b^2 + 12b + 32 = b^2 + 2*6b + 6^2 - 6^2 + 32
b^2 + 12b + 32 = (b+6)^2 - 4
b^2 + 12b + 32 = (b+6-2)(b+6+2) = (b+4)(b+8)
3. other way : -4 "ovious" solution : (-4)^2 - (-4) -20 = 0
so the other is : -4 . a2 = -20/1 ---> a2 = 5
a^2 - a - 20 = (a-5)(a+4)
P = 4(2x^2 + 1)...when x = 3.5
P = 4(2(3.5^2) + 1
P = 4(2(12.25) + 1
P = 4(24.5 + 1)
P = 4(25.5)
P = 102 inches <===
