Suppose that a>1/2 and the parabola with equation y=ax^2+2 has vertex V. The parabola intersects the line with equation y=-x+
4a at points B and C, as shown. If the area of triangle VBC is 72/5, determine the value of A.

Answer:
No, They are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.
The variable in this question is x.
To prove this, we equate both expressions:
This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.
This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
