Q:Find the equation of the quadratic function with vertex (6,-2) and zeros of 2 and 10
A:
The quadratic function is y = a(x - 2)(x - 10) where a ≠ 0.
The point (6, -2) is on the graph of the parabola so
-2 = a(6 - 2)(6 - 10)
-16a = -2
a = 1/8
Therefore, the quadratic function is highlight%28y+=+f%28x%29+=+%281%2F8%29%28x+-+2%29%28x+-+10%29%29 or highlight%28y+=+f%28x%29+=+0.125x%5E2+-+1.5x+%2B+2.5%29%29
