Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Factored form of a parabola</u>

where:
- p and q are the x-intercepts.
- a is some constant.
Given x-intercepts:
Therefore:


To find a, substitute the given point (4, 8) into the equation and solve for a:




Therefore, the equation of the parabola in factored form is:

Expand so that the equation is in standard form:




3(4x +12)=180
12x + 36 =180
-36. -36
180-36= 144
12x = 144
——. ——-
12. 12
X = 12
