Use factoring and completing the square to reveal zeros, extrema, and symmetry of quadratics.

Factor a quadratic and solve its zero factors

Problem

Factor \(2x^{2}+2x-12\) completely. First extract \(2\), then factor \(x^{2}+x-6\) using integers with product \(-6\) and sum \(1\). Solve each zero factor and expand to verify the original quadratic.
