quadratic means taht the highest power o the variabe is 2


if a function has roots v and u, then it can be factored into form


f(x)=a(x-v)(x-u) where a is a constant and v an u are the roots


if the roots (zeroes) are 2 and 12, then it can be factored into form


f(x)=a(x-2)(x-12) where a is a constant not equal to 0

if a=1 for simplicity


f(x)=(x-2)(x-12)=x^2-14x+24
