Question:

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 9. Which of the following forms of the function reveals that the vertex of the parabola is at the point (3, 0)?

Answer Choices:

  • A) f(x) = (x - 3)^2
  • B) f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 9
  • C) f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 3)
  • D) f(x) = (x - 3)^2 + 0
✅ Answer:
f(x) = (x - 3)^2

💡 Explanation:

  • The vertex form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

  • By rewriting the function f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 9 as f(x) = (x - 3)^2, it is clear that the vertex is at (3, 0).

  • The original function is already in a form that can be easily converted to vertex form by completing the square.
