Suppose you can factorize:

ax^2+bx+c=a(x-r_1)(x-r_2)

Then by expanding the right side, you have

ax^2+bx+c=a(x^2-(r_1+r_2)x+r_1r_2)=ax^2-a(r_1+r_2)x+ar_1r_2

which means in this case, you have to have

\begin{cases}6=-2(r_1+r_2)\\-8=2r_1r_2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}r_1+r_2=-3\\r_1r_2=-4\end{cases}

<span>Owls are found in many different habitats, such as deserts, forests, prairies and even the Arctic tundra. They nest in trees, in holes in the ground, in barns, and in caves. And while many other birds migrate to warmer places during the winter, most owls do not. They live in the same place all year round.</span>
