The y intercept is 5, since slope is y=mx+b. The x intercept is at -2. If you have more problems like this there is an amazing calculator that graphs equations like this for you. www.symbolab.com. Hope this helps!
(x - 8)² = 144
Take square root of both sides
(x - 8) = √144
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
Original lawn is = 20 feet * 20 feet square
Group first 2 and group last 2 and find factors and undistribute
(4x^3+x^2)+(-8x-2)
(x^2)(4x+1)+(-2)(4x+1)
x^2(4x+1)-2(4x+1)
answer is first one
Adds 4 each time and 5-4=1 so nth term is 4n + 1
Do you have a picture of it?
