Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 17

x^2 + 2x = 17 - 1

x^2 + 2x = 16

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 16 + 1

(x + 1)(x + 1) = 17

(x + 1)^2 = 17

x + 1 = sqrt 17

x = -1 (+ - ) sqrt 17

x = -1 + sqrt 17 or x = -1 - sqrt 17 <===

A plant is already 52 centimeters tall, and it will grow one centimeter every month. Let H be the plant's health (in centimeters
Tasya [4]

Plant's height after 31 months:82 centimeters

<h3>How to find the height of the plant</h3>

The equation that can be used to find the height of the plant is given as

h = 52 centimeters + 1m

We have that the plant grows at 1 centimeter every month hence we have 1m in the equation.

Then the number of periods is m, Now we are to find the height in this period of time

h = 52 + 1*31

= 51 + 31

= 82

Hence the height after 31 months is given as 82 centimeters.
