The vertex being given makes your life a whole lot easier. The equation is y = a(x - 1)^2 + 3. That's what you have so far. You have enough information to solve for a. when x = 2, y = 6. So put those values into the equation and solve for a
6 = a(2 - 1)^2 + 3 Subtract 3 from both sides. 6 - 3 = a(2 -1)^2 Combine the brackets. 3 = a (1)^2 3 = a (1) Divide by 1 3/1 = a a = 3
Now put that into the equation you started out with. y = 3(x - 1)^2 + 3
