$c = 0$

Consider the vertex form of a parabola.

$a {(x + d)}^{2} + e$

Find the value of $d$ using the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $a$ and $b$ into the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

$d = \frac{0}{2 \cdot - 3}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $0$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $0$ .

$d = \frac{2 (0)}{2 \cdot - 3}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot - 3$ .

$d = \frac{2 (0)}{2 (- 3)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$d = \frac{2 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot - 3}$

Rewrite the expression.

$d = \frac{0}{- 3}$

Cancel the common factor of $0$ and $- 3$ .

Factor $3$ out of $0$ .

$d = \frac{3 (0)}{- 3}$

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{0}{- 1}$ .

$d = - 1 \cdot 0$

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot 0$ as $- 0$ .

$d = - 0$

Multiply $- 1$ by $0$ .

$d = 0$

Find the value of $e$ using the formula $e = c - \frac{b^{2}}{4 a}$ .

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Raising $0$ to any positive power yields $0$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{0}{4 \cdot - 3}$

Multiply $4$ by $- 3$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{0}{- 12}$

Divide $0$ by $- 12$ .

$e = 0 - 0$

Multiply $- 1$ by $0$ .

$e = 0 + 0$

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$e = 0$
