Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form is accomplished by completing the square on the quadratic. Do this by first setting the parabola equal to 0 then moving the constant over to the other side:
Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9:
The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial on the left:
(obviously the 0 results from the addition of 9 and -9). Move the 0 back over to the other side and set the quadratic back equal to y:
This gives you a vertex of (-3, 0), which is a minimum value, since the parabola opens upwards.
