Answer:

f(x) = (x + 3)² + 2

Explanation:

Vertex for of a quadratic function is given by,

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Here, (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

From the given picture,

(-3, 2) is the vertex of the graph.

Therefore, function will be,

f(x) = a(x + 3)²+ 2

Since, the graph of the function passes through (0, 11),

f(0) = a(0 + 3)²+ 2

11 = 9a + 2

9a = 9

a = 1

Equation of the function,

f(x) = (x + 3)² + 2
