Answer:

f(x) = -(x+2)(x-1)

Explanation:

We know the zeros are at 1 and -2

f(x) = a *(x-b1)(x-b2) where b1 and b2 are the zeros and a is a constant

f(x) =a(x-1)(x- -2)

f(x) =a(x-1)(x+2)

We know that a must be negative since the parabola opens down so

The only choice is choice D where a = -1

f(x) = -(x+2)(x-1)
