Answer :

In the graph we have a parabola, and its equation is y = (x - 2)^2 - 3

How to find the equation of the graphed function?

In the graph, we can see a parabola.

We only need to identify 3 parts, which are the two x-intercepts (if it has) and the y-intercept.

Remember that if the vertex and the y-intercept. Remember that if the vertex is (h, k) and the leading coefficient is a, then we can write the equation as:

y = a*(x - h)^2 + k

In the image we can see that the vertex is (2, -3), then:

y = a*(x - 2)^2 - 3

And the y-intercept is y = 1, then if we evaluate in x = 0 we should get y = 1, replacing that we get:

1 = a*(0 - 2)^2 - 3

1 = a*4 - 3

1 + 3 = a*4

4/4 = a = 1

Then the quadratic equation is y = (x - 2)^2 - 3
