Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle 2 {x}^{2} + 4x - 30 = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the zeros and a point where it goes through of a quadratic equation

remember that when the roots are given then the function should be

[tex] \displaystyle \: y = a(x - x_{1})(x - x_{2}) [/tex]

where a is the leading coefficient and x1 and x2 are the roots

substitute:

[tex] \displaystyle y = a(x - (3))(x - ( - 5)) [/tex]

simplify:

[tex] \displaystyle y = a(x - 3)(x + 5) [/tex]

now the given point tells us that when x is 2 y is -14 therefore by using the point we can figure out a

substitute:

[tex] \displaystyle a(2 - 3)(2 + 5) = - 14[/tex]

simplify parentheses:

[tex] \displaystyle a( - 1)(7) = - 14[/tex]

simplify multiplication:

[tex] \displaystyle - 7a = - 14[/tex]

divide both sides by -7:

[tex] \displaystyle a = 2[/tex]

altogether substitute:

[tex] \displaystyle y = 2(x - 3)(x + 5) [/tex]

since it want the equation y should be

[tex] \displaystyle 2(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0[/tex]

recall quadratic equation standard form:

[tex] \displaystyle {ax}^{2} + bx + c = 0[/tex]

so simplify parentheses:

[tex] \displaystyle 2( {x}^{2} + 2x - 15 ) = 0[/tex]

distribute:

[tex] \displaystyle 2 {x}^{2} + 4x - 30 = 0[/tex]

hence,

the equation of the parabola in standard form is 2x²+4x-30=0
