Answer:
8N - 4 border tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 border tiles in each corner and between the tiles there are N-2 tiles along the 4 sides.
So the number of border tiles
= 4+ 4(N - 2)
= 4 + 4N - 8
= 8N - 4.
Answer:
16 is the awnser or at least I belive
So discriminant is being counted from that equation:
b^2-4ac = 36-36 = 0
As discriminant is 0, then there is just 1 root -> -b/2a = 6/2 = 3.
