Jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side. The area of the smaller lawn is 144 square feet. In the equation
(x – 8)2 = 144, x represents the side measure of the original lawn.

What were the dimensions of the original lawn?

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
