Hello there, you can proceed with the multiplication of these factors using the FOIL method (which stands for first, outer, inner and last) multiply I assume that by descending order, you mean by decreasing power. If it were so, the answer is 6(x^3)12(x^2)-16(x^2)32x-27x+72.
Well let's do some maths if each made a certain amount of baskets an hour you could divide them and figure out how many baskets were made per hour.
jack = 30/5 = 6 baskets per hour
Rudy = 32/8 = 4 baskets per hour
Sam = 40/12 =3.333 baskets per hour
Walter = 22/4 = 5.5 baskets per hour
according to this Jack had the greatest productivity

where a-term determines how wide/narrow/upward or downward of the graph.
h-term determines the changes of graph for x-axis
k-term determines the changes of graph for y-axis.
The vertex of parabola is at (h,k).

Therefore, h = 6 and k = 3.
