1. **State the problem:** We need to order the functions $f(x)$, $g(x)$, and $h(x)$ by their maximum values from smallest to largest.
2. **Find the maximum value of $f(x) = (6 - x)(x - 7)$:**
Expand the function:
$$f(x) = (6 - x)(x - 7) = 6x - 42 - x^2 + 7x = -x^2 + 13x - 42$$
This is a quadratic function opening downwards (coefficient of $x^2$ is negative), so it has a maximum at the vertex.
The vertex $x$-coordinate is given by:
$$x = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{13}{2 \times (-1)} = \frac{13}{2} = 6.5$$
Calculate $f(6.5)$:
$$f(6.5) = -(6.5)^2 + 13 \times 6.5 - 42 = -42.25 + 84.5 - 42 = 0.25$$
So, the maximum value of $f(x)$ is $0.25$.
3. **Find the maximum value of $g(x)$:**
From the table:
$$g(-6) = -3, g(-5) = 2, g(-4) = 5, g(-3) = 6, g(-2) = 5, g(-1) = 2, g(0) = -3$$
The maximum value is $6$ at $x = -3$.
4. **Find the maximum value of $h(x)$:**
The graph is a downward-opening parabola with vertex approximately at $(-4, 9)$.
Therefore, the maximum value of $h(x)$ is approximately $9$.
5. **Order the maximum values:**
$$f(x)_{max} = 0.25 < g(x)_{max} = 6 < h(x)_{max} = 9$$
6. **Final answer:**
The order from smallest to largest maximum value is:
$$f(x), g(x), h(x)$$
