I need help with this now -p- please help

Is there a direction u in which the rate of change of f(x,y)equals=x squared minus 3 xy plus 4 y squaredx2−3xy+4y2 at p(1,2) equals 14? give reasons for your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. no. the given rate of change is smaller than the minimum rate of change. b. no. the given rate of change is larger than the maximum rate of change. c. yes. the given rate of change is larger than the minimum rate of change and smaller than the maximum rate of change.

Y= a(x-3)squared-1 what is the value of a

Draw a geometric diagram of this scenario using two parallel lines and one transversal. (remember that a transversal is a line which cuts across parallel lines.) label the angles, parallel lines, and transversal as indicated in the diagram above.
