The quadratic function shown in the graph is f(x) = (3/4)*x².

How to find the quadratic function?

For a general quadratic function with a leading coefficient a, and a vertex (h, k) is written as:

y = a*(x - h)² + k

Here we can see that the vertex of the parabola is at (0, 0) so we can write:

y = a*(x - 0)² + 0

y = ax²

Now we also can see that the graph passes trough the point (2, 3), replacing these values in the equation we will get:

3 = a*2²

3 = a*4

3/4 = a

Then the function is:

f(x) = (3/4)*x²
