In both cases you may well benefit from graphing the functions.
Do you recognize f(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 1 as a quadratic function, whose graph is that of a parabola that opens up? By comparing this to y = a(x-h)^2 + k, we see that a=1, h= -1 and k = -1. The vertex is at (h,k), which here is the point (-1, -1). This is the minimum value of the function. Thus, the range of this function is [-1, infinity).
Now for the function f(x) = 7x - 11: This is a linear function whose graph is (surprise!) a straight line. When x increases, y increases, without limits to either. Similarly, when x decreases, y decreases.
Thus the range includes all real numbers: (-infinity, infinity).
Part A
<h3>Answer:
h^2 + 4h</h3>
-------------------
Explanation:
We multiply the length and height to get the area
area = (length)*(height)
area = (h+4)*(h)
area = h(h+4)
area = h^2 + 4h .... apply the distributive property
The units for the area are in square inches.

Part B
<h3>Answer:
h^2 + 16h + 60</h3>
-------------------
Explanation:
If we add a 3 inch frame along the border, then we're adding two copies of 3 inches along the bottom side. The h+4 along the bottom updates to h+4+3+3 = h+10 along the bottom.
Similarly, along the vertical side we'd have the h go to h+3+3 = h+6
The old rectangle that was h by h+4 is now h+6 by h+10
Multiply these expressions to find the area
area = length*width
area = (h+6)(h+10)
area = x(h+10) ..... replace h+6 with x
area = xh + 10x .... distribute
area = h( x ) + 10( x )
area = h( h+6 ) + 10( h+6 ) .... plug in x = h+6
area = h^2+6h + 10h+60 .... distribute again twice more
area = h^2 + 16h + 60
You can also use the box method or the FOIL rule as alternative routes to find the area.
The units for the area are in square inches.
Answer: 2 57/100 hope that helps
Area of Rectangle = length times width
lets say length = 2x-4
width = x+5
Note: you can switch these around, width could be 2x-4 and length could be x+5, it doesnt matter.
With that being said:
length * width = area
(2x-4)(x+5)=area
FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)
Simplify:
