Answer:

a=1; b=14

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to form a perfect square

(a+b)²=a²+b²+2ab

If you add a one you will get a perfect square

x²+2x+1 = (x+1)²

if you added a one in one side you have to added to the other side too

(x+1)² = 13+1

(x+1)² = 14

Answer:

a = 1, b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides , that is

x² + 2(1)x + 1 = 13 + 1

(x + 1)² = 14

with a = 1 and b = 14
