The function \(f\) is defined by \(f(x)=mx^2+6mx\) for \(x\in\mathbb{R}\), where \(m\in\mathbb{R}\). The graph of \(f\) and the line \(y=2mx-8\) have exactly one point in common.
With this value of \(m\), \(f(x)\) can also be written as \(2(x-p)(x-q)\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are real constants.
In completed-square form, \(f(x)=2(x-h)^2+k\), where \(h\) and \(k\) are real constants.
