Question

A quadratic equation has these characteristics: - The leading coefficient is -1 . - The \( x \)-intercepts are at \( (-4,0) \) and \( (-2,0) \). What is the quadratic equation written in factored form? \[ y=(x-4)(x-2) \] \[ y=-(x+4)(x+2) \] \[ y=-(x-4)(x-2) \] \( y=(x+4)(x+2) \)

          A quadratic equation has these characteristics:
- The leading coefficient is -1 .
- The \( x \)-intercepts are at \( (-4,0) \) and \( (-2,0) \).

What is the quadratic equation written in factored form?
\[
y=(x-4)(x-2)
\]
\[
y=-(x+4)(x+2)
\]
\[
y=-(x-4)(x-2)
\]
\( y=(x+4)(x+2) \)

A quadratic equation has these characteristics:
- The leading coefficient is -1 .
- The x-intercepts are at (-4,0) and (-2,0).

What is the quadratic equation written in factored form?

y=(x-4)(x-2)

y=-(x+4)(x+2)

y=-(x-4)(x-2)

y=(x+4)(x+2)

Step 1

The \( x \)-intercepts are given as \((-4, 0)\) and \((-2, 0)\). This means the roots are \( x = -4 \) and \( x = -2 \). Show more…
