.

Make a plot of the parabola.

It is opened upward.

It has the minimum at   x= -b%2F%282a%29 = -4%2F2 = -2   (the symmetry axis).

The vertex is   (x,y) = (-2,-16).

y-intercepts are at   x= -6   and   x= 2.

The solution set to the given inequality consists of all the points
of the coordinate plane what are below this parabola or lie on it.


-----------

Solved.

You got the wording description of the solution set.
