.38+p is a type of .38 ammunition. The "+p" designates it as a hot load - one that will travel at a higher velocity and potentially dump more energy into a target than a standard load - and these more potent loads should only be used in firearms that are rated for such ammunition. If you use this in a gun that is not capable of handling the power a catastrophic failure could occur; this includes, but is not limited to, barrel damage, hammer/firing pin damage, and even the gun basically blowing up in your hand.

Can you shoot 38 Special plus P ammo in a 38 caliber pistol?
Depends on the pistol. If there's nothing about this in the owner's manual, or there is no owner's manual, you should contact the manufacturer for clarification on this matter. If you're unable to do this, a gunsmith should be able to determine this for you. .38 Special +P is .38 Special ammo, but with a higher powder content, which generates higher chamber pressures. Older .38 Special revolvers which were manufactured before the advent of the .38 Special +P cartridge did not have to be mindful of this when they manufactured their revolvers.
What binomial is a factor of this trinomial x2 plus 13x plus 4?
x2 + 13x + 4 = (x + 6½ + √38¼)(x + 6½ - √38¼). To find this, we need to find p and q, where p + q = 13, pq = 4. 4 = 42¼ - 38¼ = (6½ + √38¼)(6½ - √38¼); thus, p = (6½ + √38¼), q = (6½ - √38¼).
