Carry out the mult.: f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189]
Combine like terms: f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [ ]: f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c: a= -1, b=12, c=189
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a), which here equals
x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or x = 6
This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.

Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of 2 adjacent sides:
Area = (5x - 3y)(5x - 3y) as the sides of a square are all equal.
= 5x(5x - 3y) - 3y(5x - 3y)
= 25x^2 - 15xy - 15xy + 9y^2
= 25x^2 - 30xy + 9y^2.
