    Given:

    area of mirror and frame : 19.25 square ft.

    dimensions of the mirror: length = 5ft; width = 3ft

    area of mirror = 5 ft * 3 ft = 15 square feet.

    area of frame = 19.25 square feet - 15 square feet = 4.25 square feet.

    I think the correct answer is 3.) 4x² + 16x - 4.25
