We need to finish the steps:

In step 2, we need to find the value of a:


5=a(6-5)^2+3

Solve for a:

5=a(1)²+3

5=a+3

Subtract both sides 3:

5-3=a+3-3

2=a

Now, for step 3, we need to write the function using the values of h,k, and a:


f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

Where h=5, k=3, and a =2

Replacing, the answer is:


f(x)=2(x-5)^2+3
