Graph -x^2+6x-9=0

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you mean graph \(y=-x^2+6x-9\) ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you want to graph the curve, not just some xintercepts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i want both graph and x,y intercepts

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(y=-x^2+6x-9\) \(y=-(x^2-6x+9)\) \(y=-(x^2-3x-3x+9)\) \(y=-(x(x-3)-3(x-3))\) \(y=-(x-3)(x-3)\) \(y=-(x-3)^2\) this is a parabola (that opens down). in general: \(y=\color{red}{a}(x-\color{green}{h})^2+\color{blue}{k}\) is the form of an opening up (when a>0) parabola or opening down (when a<0) parabola, centered at \((h,k)\). In your case: \(y=\color{red}{(-1)}(x-\color{green}{3})^2+\color{blue}{0}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

to find the y-intercepts, set x=0 and solve for y. to find the x-intercepts, set y=0 and solve for x.
