Answer:
The correct choice is C
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is:

The degree of this function is odd so the function will rise at one end and fall on the other end.
Since the coefficient of the leading term is negative, the graph of the function will rise at the left and fall on the right.
The correct answer is option C.
Length of side of new square is 17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the length of the side of the old square be x. Then length of side of new square = x + 3 and Perimeter of new square = 40 + 2x
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side
⇒ 4(x + 3) = 40 + 2x
⇒ 4x + 12 = 40 + 2x
⇒ 2x = 28
⇒ x = 14 inches
- Step 2: Find length of side of the new square
⇒ x + 3 = 17 inches
These are both simplified and not 9/6, 3/2, 6/4
