The best answer the question above is D.
Answer:
Let's complete the square first.
y = x² + 6x + 3
= (x² + 6x + 9) - 6
= (x + 3)² - 6
Therefore, the vertex is (-3, -6) and since the coefficient of (x + 3)² is positive, the vertex is a minimum.
1 pound = 453.59237 grams
1 cubic inch = 16.387064 milliliters
19.3 grams * 1 pound / 453.59 grams =

So subtract 55 from 35
35 - 55 = -20
then, put -20 over 55
-20/55 equals -0.36 repeating, rounded to -0.36, which equals 36%
the negative stands for decrease, so it's around 36% decrease
