Answer:

[tex]y=2x^2-4x-16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Factored form of a quadratic equation:

[tex]y=a(x-r_1)(x-r_2)[/tex]

where:

  • a is the leading coefficient
  • [tex]r_1[/tex] and [tex]r_2[/tex] are the roots

Given:

  • [tex]a = 2[/tex]
  • [tex]r_1=4[/tex]
  • [tex]r_2=-2[/tex]

Substitute the given values into the formula and expand:

[tex]\implies y=2(x-4)(x-(-2))[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=2(x-4)(x+2)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=2(x^2+2x-4x-8)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=2x^2-4x-16[/tex]
