Notice that half of the coefficient of x is (1/2)(-4), or -2.

Then x^2 - 4x   becomes
         x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 = 0, or (x -2)^2 = 4.   Then x = -2 plus or minus 2, and the two roots are 0 and -4.

Thus, add 4 to both sides to obtain x^2 - 4x + 4 = 4.

Replace x with the value in the table and solve for y

-3:  2(-3)/3 + 4 = -6/3 + 4 = -2+4 = 2

0:  2(0)/3 +4 = 0/3 + 4 = 0+4 = 4

3: 2(3)/3 + 4 = 6/3 + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6

6:  2(6)/3 + 4 = 12/3 + 4 = 4+4 = 8
