The whartons are planting a rectangular vegetable garden. suppose the width of the garden is x feet and the length of the garden is 5-x feet. which type of function can you use to model the area y of the garden in terms of its width
The are of the garden is therefore given by x * (5-x).
This equates to -x^2+5x.
This is a downward-facing quadratic equation, based on the negative coefficient of the leading term with highest power of two.
