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> 

see the attached figure

<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
a = -5, opens down

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The general form of the quadratic equation is:</u>
f(x) = a(x-h)</span>²<span> + k where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

<u>The value of the "a" determines whether the parabola is open upwards or downwards:</u>
1- if the value of "a" is positive, this means that parabola opens upwards
2- if the value of "a" is negative, this means that the parabola opens downwards

<u>Now, for the given:</u>
f(x) = -5(x+7)</span>²<span> + 6
<u>By comparison, we can note that:</u>
a = -5
The value of "a" is <u>negative</u> which means that the parabola opens down.

The attached image shows the graph of the given function

Hope this helps :)</span>

Roland is purchasing pottery supplies for his pottery class. He buys a portable pottery wheel for $382 modeling clay is $12, and
tatuchka [14]
To find the total cost of Roland's purchases, you will add $382 plus $12 plus $16.14 together to find the total spent.

$410.14.

Next will be to calculate the new price based on the sales tax rate. To do this you will multiply the cost by 1.0825. This includes everything you paid and the sales tax

410.14 x 1.0825 = $443.98

Roland's total price was $443.98.
