A pattern of rectangles is formed by decreasing the length and increasing the width, each by the same amount.
The relationship between x, the amount of increase, and A, the area of the rectangle represented by the increase, is
quadratic.
Which graph could represent the area of each rectangle in terms of the change in the length and width?
