Question

What is the equation of a quadratic function that has zeros -6 and -2?

Answer 1

`y=x^(2) +8x+12` is the quadratic function.

Explanation:

We know that -6 and -2 are the zeros. So, they are both equal to x.

x = -6 and x = -2

Add them to x.

(x + 6) (x + 2)

Now, multiply the two binomials together.

`x^(2) +6x+8x+12`

Combine like terms.

`y=x^(2) +8x+12`

`y=x^(2) +8x+12` is the answer.
