D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parabola in standard form, y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

= -

y = - 4x² - 16x - 12 ← is in standard form

with a = - 4 and b = - 16 , thus

= - = - 2

Substitute x = - 2 into y for corresponding y- coordinate

y = - 4(- 2)² - 16(- 2) - 12 = - 16 + 32 - 12 = 4

vertex = (- 2, 4 ) → D

4 adults and 12 babies

step-by-step explanation:

4 x 7 = 28

12 x 15 = 180

180 + 28 =208

4 x 3 = 12

∞ this is your sign
