Answer

$f(x)=-2(x-3)^{2}+18$ Graph: See image below

Work Step by Step

The standard form of a parabola is in the form of $f(x)=a(x−h)^{2}+k. $ "a" will be the coefficient of $x^{2}$ which in this case is -2 "h" will be the x-term divided by 2 and "a". Therefore h=12/2/-2=-3. Finally ''k" will be the constant term $−ah^{2}$. Using this k is found to be 18. Therefore the answer is $f(x)=-2(x-3)^{2}+18$
