Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and -4 and whose leading coefficient is 2

The quadratic equation your looking for is:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2+2x−8

2x^2+4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic can be written as

f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots

f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)

a is the leading coefficient

f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)

     = 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)

     = 2(x^2 +2x-8)

     = 2x^2 +4x-16

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
