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>

The ratio of the area of the <u>first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u> is 4:1
<h3>Ratio of the areas of similar figures </h3>
From the question, we are to determine the ratio of the area of the<u> first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u>
<u />
The two figures are similar
From one of the theorems for similar polygons, we have that
If the scale factor of the sides of <u>two similar polygons</u> is m/n then the ratio of the areas is (m/n)²
Let the base length of the first figure be ,m = 14 mm
and the base length of the second figure be, n = 7 mm
∴ The ratio of their areas will be



= 4:1
Hence, the ratio of the area of the <u>first figure</u> to the area of the <u>second figure</u> is 4:1

Nine times the original volume
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length, width and height of the rectangular prism be 'l' 'w' and 'h'.
The volume of the rectangular prism is given by,
V = W x l x h
The original volume of the rectangular prism is,
V = wlh
Here the length is 1.5 the original length
So, l = 1.5 x l = (1.5l)
And the with is doubled. So,
W = 2W
The height is tripled. So,
h = 3h
Volume of the new rectangular prism is,
V = (1.5l) (2w) (3h)
V = 9 wlh
We know that wlh is the original volume of the rectangular prism.
So the new volume is 9 times the original volume.
