Answer:
t =2 , 3
Step-by-step explanation:
s (t) = t^2 + 2 t + 5
p (t) = 11 + 3 t
(a) s (1) = 8
s (2) = 13
s (3) = 20
s (4) = 29
p (1) = 14
p (2) = 17
p (3) = 20
p (4) = 23
Now equate both of them
[tex]t^2 + 2t + 5 = 11 + 3 t \\\\t^2 - t - 6 =0 \\\\t^2 - 3 t + 2t - 6 =0\\\\t(t - 3) + 2 (t - 3) = 0\\\\(t -3)(t-2)=0\\\\t =3, 2[/tex]
(b) It shows that the values are same at = 2 and t = 3.
