Given:

A quadratic function has x-intercepts 2 and 6 and its vertex is (4, 8).

To find:

The corresponding quadratic expression.

Solution:

If graph of a function intersect the x-axis at c, then (x-c) is a factor of the function.

A quadratic function has x-intercepts 2 and 6. It means (x-2) and (x-6) are two factors of the required quadratic function.

The function is defined as:

P(x)=a(x-2)(x-6)                    ...(i)

Where, a is a constant.

The vertex of the quadratic function is (4,8). It means the point (4,8) will satisfy the function.

Substituting x=4 and P(x)=8 in (i).

8=a(4-2)(4-6)

8=a(2)(-2)

8=-4a

Divide both sides by -4.

\dfrac{8}{-4}=a

-2=a

Putting a=-2 in (i), we get

P(x)=-2(x-2)(x-6)

P(x)=-2(x^2-6x-2x+12)

P(x)=-2(x^2-8x+12)

P(x)=-2x^2+16x-24

Therefore, the correct option is B.
