Asquare is 6 inches on each side. a small square, x inches on each side, is cut out from each corner of the original square. represent the area of the remaining portion of the square in the form of a polynomial function a(x)
.

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of original Square = 6 inches

Area of square =

Area of square =

                        =

Now we are given that A small square, x inches on each side, is cut out from each corner of the original square

Area of small square =

Original square has four corners

So, Area 4 small squares =

Let the remaining area be A(x)

So, Remaining area = Original Area - Area of 4 small squares

Hence the area of the remaining portion of the square in the form of a polynomial function A(x)  is

y = 0.77(x)

step-by-step explanation:

the jacket retains this value after 23% cut or retains 77% of original value. plug original 87 jacket price for x and the remaining value should be y.
