The zeros are  2 and 4 so the equation now looks like

 

(x-2)(x-4)  =  x^2 -6x +8   

f(1) = 6?        1^2 -6 +8 =  3            which needs to double to equal 6

 

so   2x^2 - 12x +16  = 0    fits the bill!     Graph to follow ....

The vertex  is at x = 3

 

And the x coordinate of the vertex  = -b / [2a] = 3 →  b = -6a

 

The product of the roots =   c /a =  8 →   c = 8a

 

And we know that

 

a(1)^2 - 6a(1) + 8a   = 6

 

3a = 6    →

 

a = 2     b  = -12    c = 16

 

Here'a a graph : https://www.desmos.com/calculator/flafi02koq
