Please help me I have no idea what this is

On #16 : explain how factoring a trinomial, ax^2+ bx+ c, when a does not equal 1 different from factoring a trinomial when a = 1.

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.
