Here is my answer. hope it helps!
X^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1
or
x^2/900 + y^2/169 = 1 x^2/1467^2 + y^2/736^2= 1 x^2/736^2 + y^2/1467 = 1 x^2/169 + y^2/900 = 1

assuming you mean

remember
in form

a is leading coficient
(h,k) is vertex
k will be the minimum or max value of the function
if a is positive, then the parabola opens up and k is minimum
if a is negative, then the parabola opens down and k is max
given
a is negative
the parabola opens down and k is the max value
it is -3
the max value is -3, which occors at x=2
g(2)=-3 is max
-6(4x + 1) + 7x + 9(x - 3) = 4
-6(4x) - 6(1) + 7x + 9(x) - 9(3) = 4
-24x - 6 + 7x + 9x - 27 = 4
-24x + 7x + 9x - 6 + 27 = 4
-8x + 21 = 4
- 21 - 21
-8x = -17
-8 -8
x = 2.125
