the equation of a parabola in vertex form is
| 2 2 y = a ( x - h ) 2 + k 2 2 | ̲ ¯
where an is a constant and the vertex's coordinates are (h, k).
using the method of completing the square
f ( x ) = - ( x 2 - 6 x + 13 )
f ( x ) = - ( x 2 - 6 x + 9 - 9 + 13 )
f ( x ) = - ( ( x - 3 ) 2 + 4 )
f ( x ) = - ( x - 3 ) 2 - 4 in vertex form
