Answer:
clockwise from top left, coefficients are ... 5, 1, 1/3, -5, -1, -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the form ...
y = ax²
the coefficient 'a' is a vertical scale factor. When it is greater than 1, the parent function is vertically stretched, so it gets farther away from the x-axis for smaller values of x. (Parabola closest to the y-axis.)
The 'a' is less than 1, the parent function is vertically compressed, so the graph stays closer to the x-axis for larger values of x. (Parabola farthest from the y-axis.)

To answer this correctly, you only need to look to see if the coefficient is more than 1, equal to 1, or less than 1. If it is negative, the curve opens downward. Otherwise the vertical scaling is the same.
It looks like you're given coefficients of ±5, ±1, ±1/3. The negative coefficients apply to the graphs at the bottom of the figure. The positive ones apply to the top. Working to the left from the extreme right, the graphs are compressed (a=1/3), unaffected (a=1), and stretched (a=5).
