You have worked with three forms of quadratic functions. Think about them and answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1) What are the different forms?

2) For each of the three forms, when would it be most convenient to have the function in that form?

3) Create a quadratic function in one of the forms and show how to convert it to another one of the three forms.

Number your responses from 1 to 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Standard form: y = ax2 + bx + c where the a,b, and c are just numbers.

2) Factored form: y = (ax + c)(bx + d) again the a,b,c, and d are just numbers.

3) Vertex form: y = a(x + b)2 + c again the a, b, and c are just numbers.

The correct answer is first option

(7x + 4)(7x − 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Identities

(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

It is given an expression,

49x² - 16

To factorize  the expression 49x² - 16

We know that 7² = 49 and 4² = 16

Therefore we can write the given expression as,

49x² - 16 = (7x)² - 4²

It is in the form of the above identity,

(7x)² - 4² = (7x + 4)(7x - 4)

The correct answer is first option
