The expression we have is:


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

We need to compare this expression with the Vertex form of the quadratic equation:


f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

Where the vertex is at (h,k).

We rewrite our expression as follows:


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

And we can see that h=-3, and k=9. Thus, the vertex of this quadratic function is at:


(-3,9)

Also, since we have a negative sign along side the x, that means that the parabola opens down.

And the correct result is:

Option C

Use the vertex and intercept to sketch the graph of the quadratic function.-example-1
