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>

Simplify (6^5/7^3)^2
o-na [289]
Simplify the following:
(6^5/7^3)^2

7^3 = 7×7^2:
(6^5/(7×7^2))^2

7^2 = 49:
(6^5/(7×49))^2

7×49 = 343:
(6^5/343)^2

6^5 = 6×6^4 = 6 (6^2)^2:
((6 (6^2)^2)/343)^2

6^2 = 36:
((6×36^2)/343)^2

((6×1296)/343)^2

6×1296 = 7776:
(7776/343)^2

(7776/343)^2 = 7776^2/343^2:
7776^2/343^2
