You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I don't quite understand what you mean by solve. When we solve an equation we look for the roots or zeros.
\n" ); document.write( "It is already in the form to know the x's 2 and 6 when y=0
\n" ); document.write( "All you have to do is graph it.It is a parabola.
\n" ); document.write( "I have no idea how you got 21x^2-36 but it is wrong. the -36 is right
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3(x-2)(x-6)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3(x^2-8x+12)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x^2+24x-36
\n" ); document.write( "The vertex (high point) is at (4,12)
\n" ); document.write( "It opens down because of -3x^2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
