Answer:
y = x^2 + 6x + 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
The general vertex form is
y = = a(x - b)^2 + c where a is a constant and (b, c) is the vertex.
So as the vertex is (-3, 4) we have:
y = a(x - -3)^2 + 4
y = a(x + 3)^2 + 4
Now we find the value of a by substituting the point (0, 13)
13 = a (0 + 3)^2 + 4
13 = 9a + 4
9a = 13-4 = 9
a = 1.
So our equation is y = (x + 3)^2 + 4
Converting to Standard Form:
y = x^2 + 6x + 9 + 4
y = x^2 + 6x + 13.
