Answer:
[tex]3(x-1)^2 +6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Write [tex]3x^2-6x+9[/tex] in the form: [tex]x^2 + 2ax + a^2[/tex].
Factor out 3.
[tex]3(x^2 -2x+3)[/tex]
Add and subtract [tex]\left(-1\right)^2\:[/tex].
[tex]3\left(x^2-2x+3+\left(-1\right)^2-\left(-1\right)^2\right)[/tex]
You dont have to write this section down but its for notes:
[tex]x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2[/tex]
[tex]x^2-2x+\left(-1\right)^2=\left(x-1\right)^2[/tex]
Continue writing this down to show work:
Complete the square
[tex]3\left(\left(x-1\right)^2+3-\left(-1\right)^2\right)[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]3\left(x-1\right)^2+6[/tex]
