A quadratic function with x-intercepts 7 and 10 has the form (because when x = 10 , y = 0 and x = 7, y = 0)

[tex]y=c(x-10)(x-7)[/tex]

where c is a constant hitherto unknown.

We are told that the quadratic function passes through (2, 4) meaning when x = 2 then y = 4. Putting these values into the above equation gives us

[tex]4=c(2-10)(2-7)[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow4=40c[/tex][tex]\therefore c=0.1[/tex]

Hence, the final form of our quadratic equation is

[tex]y=0.1(x-10)(x-7)[/tex]

which is our answer.
