Write an explicit function relating the side of a square to its area has side length x+5. Determine which type of function it is.
----
side^2 = Area
------
(x+5)^2 = A
----
A = x^2 + 10x +25
----
Type:: Quadratic

an explicit function relating the side of a square to its area has side length x%2B5
the area of a square is A=a%5E2
if an explicit function relating the side of a square to its area is f%28x%29 then f%28x%29=a%5E2
if the side is a=x%2B5, then f%28x%29=%28x%2B5%29%5E2=> f%28x%29=x%5E2%2B10x%2B25
so, your explicit function relating the side of a square to its area is f%28x%29=x%5E2%2B10x%2B25 and it is quadratic function
