Answer:
a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the right side of the identity, then compare the coefficients of like terms with those on the left side.
a(x - p)² + q ← expand (x - p)² using FOIL
= a(x² - 2px + p²) + q ← distribute parenthesis
= ax² - 2apx + ap² + q
Compare coefficients of x² term
a = 4
Compare coefficients of x- term
- 2ap = - 16, that is
- 2(4)p = - 16
- 8p = - 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )
p = 2
Compare constant terms
ap² + q = 15 , that is
4(2)² + q = 15
16 + q = 15 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
q = - 1
Thus a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1

Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation would look like this:
x+1=3
An expression would look like this:
x+1
As you can see, an expression has no equal sign. Conversely, an equation does. That is the primary difference between a(n) (algebraic) expression and equation.
