Key: C

Objective: You must be able to see structure in expressions and equations

and create a new form of an expression that reveals a specific property.

Explanation: Choice C is correct. The equation y = (2x - 4)(x - 4) can be written

in vertex form, y = a + k, to display the vertex, (h, k), of the parabola. To put

the equation in vertex form, first multiply: (2x - 4)(x -4) = 2 -8x-4x+16.

Then, add like terms, - 8x - 4x +16 = - 12x + 16. The next step is com-

pleting the square.

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertex, (3, -2), are only both revealed in

choice C. Since you are told that all of the equations are equivalent, simply

knowing the form that displays the coordinates of the vertex will save all of

these steps — this is known as "seeing structure in the expression or equation."
