HINT $\rm\quad\ m\ =\ n^2 + 3\:n+5\ \equiv\ (n-4)^2\ \:(mod\ 11)\ \Rightarrow\ n\ =\ 4+11\:k \ \Rightarrow\ m = \ldots\ (mod\ 11^2)$ |

Make a Solve for $n$, $$\begin{align} n=&\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt {(3)^2 - 4\cdot1\cdot(5-(121\cdot k))}}{2\cdot1}\\ n=&\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt {(484\cdot k)-11}}{2} \end{align}$$ Given that $n$ is an integer, so $\sqrt {(484\cdot k)-11}$ should be an integer |
