Let us first write down the equation and try to bring it to the standard form. This will help in choosing the correct option.

y = 2(x+1)(x-6)
y = 2(x^2 - 6x + x - 6)
y = 2(x^2 - 5x - 6)
y = 2x^2 - 10x -12

From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "a". I hope that the answer has come to your help.

Answer:


y=2x^2-10x-12

Explanation:


y=2(x+1)(x-6)

write the given function in standard form

Standard form is
y=ax^2+bx+c


y=2(x+1)(x-6) multiply the parenthesis using FOIL method


y=2(x^2-6x+1x-6)

multiply 2 inside the parenthesis


y=2(x^2-6x+1x-6)


y=2x^2-12x+2x-12

Combiene like terms


y=2x^2-10x-12
