Answer:
Answer
Correct option is
C
y=2(x−3)2−2
Choice A is not the correct answer. This answer displays the location of the y-value of the y-intercept of the graph (0,16) as a constant.
Choice B is not the correct answer. This answer displays the location of the y-value of the y-intercept of the graph open parentheses (0,16) as a constant.
Choice C is correct. The equation y=(2x−4)(x−4) can be written in vertex form, y=a(x−h)2+k to display the vertex,(h,k) of the parabola. To put the equation in vertex form, first multiply:
(2x−4)(x−4)
=2×2−8x−4x+16
=2×2−12x+16=2(x2−6x+8)=0
⇒x2−2×3x+9−9+8=0
⇒(x−3)2−1=0
⇒x−3=±1
∴x=3±1=4,2
y=0 for x=2,4
Choice D is not the correct answer. This answer displays the location of the x-value of one of the x-intercepts of the graph (2,0) as a constant.
