A) To factor a quadratic equation, standard form is the better form to use because it is easier to pull out a common factor from.
b) To graph a parabola, it is better to use vertex form so that you will know what point to graph as the vertex of the parabola.
c) To identify the vertex, maximum and minimum, it is better to use vertex form because the vertex form will give the values of the coordinates for the vertex. Then, you can use the equation to find the mininmum or maximum. If the graph is negative, it will have a maximum because it points downward infinitely. If the equation is positive, the graph will have a minimum because the graph points upward infinitely.
d) Standard form is easier to use when trying to solve using the quadratic formula because it is easier to see what the coeffiecnts and constants are to plug in for a b and c.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:

Required
Rewrite in vertex form
The vertex form of an equation is in form of: 
Solving: 
Subtract 2 from both sides


Factorize expression on the right hand side by dividing through by the coefficient of x²


Get a perfect square of coefficient of x; then add to both sides
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<em>Rough work</em>
The coefficient of x is 
It's square is 
Adding inside the bracket of
to give: 
To balance the equation, the same expression must be added to the other side of the equation;
Equivalent expression is: 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The expression becomes



Factorize the expression on the right hand side





Make y the subject of formula

<em>Solved</em>
12/3 is rational
DescriptionIn mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction
Answer:
4(4x1-16)
Hope this helps
Have a good day :)
PS I disibuted 4 to 4x1 to get 16 and 4 to -16 to get -64
