Answer:
f(x) = 2x(x - 8)
f(x) = 2(x - 2)² - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the quadratic function is,
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
Here, (h, k) is the vertex of the function.
From the graph attached,
Vertex of the parabola → (2, -8)
Therefore, equation of the function will be,
f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 8
Since, the graph passes through origin (0, 0),
f(0) = a(0 - 2)² - 8
0 = 4a - 8
a = 2
Equation of the given parabola will be,
f(x) = 2(x - 2)² - 8
= 2(x² - 4x + 4) - 8
= 2x² - 8x + 8 - 8
= 2x² - 8x
= 2x(x - 8)
Therefore, factored form of the function will be,
f(x) = 2x(x - 8)
