Move left constant to right side of equation. y= -1(x²-6x+9)+11+((-9)ⓧ(-1)) ⟶ (4) when you move the +9 from left to right side of eq. it become -9 and then must be multiplied by the "a" constant that you originally pulled out from the parenthesis. That makes the +9 constants that were added on left & right of eq. equivalent. y= -(x²-6x+9)+20 ⟶ (5) simplify equation y= -(x-3)²+20

⟶ the solutions to a quadratic function; the zeros of a quadratic function. ================== ⟶ A quadratic function may have one root, two roots, or no real roots. (y=0) ⟶ Graphing is a good way to visualize the roots of a quadratic function. However, it is the least reliable method of finding the roots. The reason for that is that so many quadratic functions have roots that are not whole numbers. If a root is a fraction, it will lie between two grids on the graph, which makes it hard to arrive at the exact value. So, it is usually best to use another method to find the roots of a quadratic equation.
