The quadratic equation is written as y = 2*(x - 3)² + 3

Let's find the equation:

A quadratic equation with a leading coefficient a and a vertex (h, k) is written as:

y = a*(x - h)² + k

In the image we can see that the vertex is at (3, 3), then we will get:

y = a*(x - 3)² + 3

In the graph we can also see the pair (5, 11), replacing these values we will get:

11 = a*(5 - 3)² + 3

11 = a*4 + 3

11 - 3 = a*4

8 = a*4

8/4 = a

2 = a

The equation is:

y = 2*(x - 3)² + 3
