We know that
the equation of the vertical parabola in the vertex form is
<span>y=a(x-h)²+k
</span>where
(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola
if a> 0 then
the parabola opens upwards
if a< 0
then the parabola open downwards
in this problem we have
f(x)=−5(x+7)²<span>+6
</span>a=-5
so
a< 0 -------> the parabola open downwards
the vertex is the point (-7,6) is a maximum
the answer is the option
<span>a = -5, opens down</span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you gotta work out the hypotenuse of ABC, which is AC.
To do that, you need to figure out the scale factor between the two right-angled triangles. You can do that for this question because this is a similar shapes question.
12.5/5 = 2.5
The scale factor length between the two triangles is 2.5.
You can use 2.5 now to work out AC, so AC would be 13 x 2.5, which gives 32.5.
Now that you've got the hypotenuse and BC of ABC, you can use Pythagoras's theorem to work out the length of AB
Pythagoras's theorem =
a = BC = 12.5
b = AB = we need to work this out
c = AC (the hypotenuse we just worked out) = 32.5
Let's both simplify and rearrange this at the same time so that we have our b on one side.
= 1056.25 - 156.25
b =
b =
b = AB = 30 We've found b or AB, now we can work out the perimeter of ABC.
Perimeter of ABC = AB + BC + AC
= 30 + 12.5 + 32.5
= 75 Here's the perimeter for ABC.
