Answer:

A. Solution=(x-8)(x+2),Zeros are 8,-2

The integer coefficient of x² is >1 and so the graph which is a parabola,curves downward and opens upward

B. The vertex or turning point is the minimum point =-b/2a=-(-6)/2(1)=3

f(3)=(3)²-6(3)-16=-25

the vertex occurs at y=-25

C. Equation of the axis of symmetry =-b/2a

which is x=3
