Theres a formula with quadatic equations which goes: "a (x-x1) (x-x2) " where x is ... well, "x", x1 and x2 are the roots and a is the leading coefficient.

So our formula would be 2 (x-4) (x-6), and if we multiply all that we get:

2x^2-12x-8x+48=

= 2x^2-20x+48 is our eqtn (if I didn't get anything wrong, of course)
