Volume=legnth times widht times height
since this is a rectangle and multiplication is commutative
doesn't matter what order wr multiply
V=5*5*12
V=300 in^3

The situation would be an example of replication because the company is trying to find out and replicate results that would occur in the general population.
To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)
