Question 45461: Please solve the problem.
The polynomial function L%28p%29+=+p%5E3+-+5p%5E2+%2B+20 gives the rate of gas leakage from a tank as pressure increases p units from its initial setting. Will an increase of 4 units result in a lower rate of leakage compared to the initial setting?

Red: L%28p%29+=+p%5E3+-+5p%5E2+%2B+20
Green: L%28p%29+=+p%5E3+-+5p%5E2+%2B+20+%2B+4 It will increase.
