Answer

$f(x)=(x-3)^2-9$

Work Step by Step

Completing the square: $f(x)=x^2-6x$ $f(x)=x^2-6x+(\frac{6}{2})^2-(\frac{6}{2})^2$ $f(x)=x^2-6x+3^2-3^2$ $f(x)=(x-3)^2-9$ Graphing the function: 1st step (black graph): The parent function: $y=x^2$ 2nd step (green graph): Shift down by 9 units. $y=x^2-9$ Final step (blue graph): Shift right by 3 units. $y=(x-3)^2-9$
