, based on given zeros
, based on the included point
The x value for vertex will occur in the exact middle of the two zeros.
----------find y for x=6.
That x y pair will be the vertex point.

->has zeros and
.....passes through point (, )
........write it in vertex form
...........complete square
...take out
the vertex of the graph is at (,)

You have two answers that both use valid algebraic techniques to find the answer.
You should understand those algebraic methods. However, you should know that all the work they did to answer this question was a waste of time.
The zeros of the function are 3 and 9, so the axis if symmetry is x=6. So if the graph passes through (6,11), then (6,11) is the vertex.
ANSWER: (in a few seconds, without algebra) The vertex is (6,11).
