Answer:
The perimeter is 38 but it gets rounded to 40
Step-by-step explanation:
the vertical line test is a graphical way to determine whether or not the graph is a function of x
if you can draw a vertical line on a graph and cross the graph at least 2 times, the graph is not a function
a function will have 1 y value for every x value, therefore, if we can draw a vertical line (x=c, a constant) that intersects the curve at more than 1 point, then that point where it intersects at more than 1 point is where 1 value of x coresponds to more than 1 value of y and is therefore not a function

Here we have the following rational function:

So the graph of this function is shown in the First Figure below. Let's define another function which is a parent function:

Whose graph is shown in the second figure below. So we can get the graph of f from the graph of g this way:
Step 1. Shift the graph 3 units to the left:

Step 2. Shift the graph 2 units down:

Finally, the features of the graph of f are:
The graph of this function comes from the parent function g and the transformations are:
- A shifting 3 units to the left
6.5 is suppose to be on the inside of the radical sign.
