Answer

$f(x)=(x+3)^2-7$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of a parabola is in the form $f (x) = a(x - h)^2 + k$. a will be the coefficient of $x^2$. In this case it is 1. h will be the x term divided by 2 and a. $6/2/1=3$ And finally k will be the constant term $-ah^2$. Using these steps we find k to be -7. Therefore the answer is $f(x)=(x+3)^2-7$.
