The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(- x^{2} + 2 x\right) + 3$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = a \left(m + x\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = -1$$
$$b = 2$$
$$c = 3$$
Then
$$m = -1$$
$$n = 4$$
So,
$$4 - \left(x - 1\right)^{2}$$
$$\left(x - 3\right) \left(x + 1\right)$$
