Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and -6, and whose leading coefficient is 2.

f(x) = 2x^2 +8x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the clues:

roots are 2 and -6  in factor form will be

(x-root1) ( x-root2) = (x-2)(x+6) = x^2 +6x -2x-12= x^2 +4x -12

But the leading coeficient here is 1 and we needet to be 2 so just mltiply the whole eq. by 2

2 (x^2 +4x -12) = 2x^2 +8x - 24

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent
