show below please.

Explanation:

the general quadratic formula is:

#y=ax^2+bx+c#

the vertex of quadratic formula given by:

#x_v=-b/(2a)#

#y_v=a(x_v)^2+b(x_v)+c#

if a positive the shape of sketch will be #uuu#
but if a negative the shape will be #nnn#

now lets sketch #y=-12x^2+24x#

lets find the vertex

#x_v=-b/(2a)=-24/-24=1#

#y_v=-12+24=12#

#"The vertex"=(1,12)#

find other points:

#f(2)=0#

#f(1)=12#

#f(0)=0#

#f(-1)=-36#

#f(-2)=-96#

show below how our sketch will become:
