Explanation:
#"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"vertex form"# is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=a(x-h)^2+k)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
#"to obtain this form use "color(blue)"completing the square"#
#f(x)=x^2+2(-3)x color(red)(+9)color(red)(-9)+25#
#color(white)(f(x))=(x-3)^2+16larrcolor(red)"in vertex form"#
