the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this

363 square inches

step-by-step explanation:

surface area of a pyramid is b + 1/2ph

b is the area of the base: 11 x 11 = 121

p is the perimeter of the base: 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 = 44

h is the height of the pyramid: 11

121 + 1/2(44)(11)

121 + 242

363
