Answer:

If the graph of a quadratic function crosses the x-axis at x=6 and x=8, then the quadratic function can be written in factored form as:

f(x) = a(x - 6)(x - 8)

where "a" is a constant that depends on the specific quadratic function.

To find two factors of f(x), we can expand the above equation using FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last) method:

f(x) = a(x^2 - 14x + 48)

Two factors of f(x) are:

(x - 6) and (x - 8)
