To find the function that has a vertex at (3, -9) and zeros at x = 0 and x = 6, we can start by finding the equation of a parabola in vertex form.

The vertex form of a parabola is given by:

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

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Given that the vertex is at (3, -9), we have h = 3 and k = -9.

Next, we can rewrite the equation with the zeros:

f(x) = a(x - 0)(x - 6)

Solving for a, we substitute the vertex coordinates:

-9 = a(3 - 0)^2
-9 = 9a
a = -1

So, the function will be:

f(x) = -(x)(x - 6)
f(x) = -x^2 + 6x

Therefore, the function is f(x) = -x^2 + 6x.
