The quadratic term in all 4 answer choices is x^2, which means the equation in standard form has a=1. Because of that, the given information that the graph passes through (2,-8) is not needed.
Solution method 1...
If the roots are 3 and -6, then the linear factors are (x-3) and (x-(-6))=(x+6). The equation is then y = (x-3)(x+6) = x^2+3x-18.
ANSWER: C
Solution method 2...
With a=1 in the standard form, Vieta's Theorem says the sum of the roots is -b and the product of the roots is c.
The sum of the roots is 3+(-6) = -3, so b is 3; the product of the roots is 3(-6) = -18, so c is -18: y = x^2+3x-18.

Write the equation in standard form
if the roots are and and it passes through (,), use root product equation
...plug in all given values
so far we have
use root again
....eq.1
use root again
....eq.2
from eq.1 and eq.2 we have
...solve for
go to
....substitute b and given point (, )
your equation is:
answer: C
