Let's begin by listing out the given information


\begin{gathered} y=(x-3)^2+4 \\ y=(x-3)(x-3)+4 \\ y=x(x-3)-3(x-3)+4 \\ y=x^2-3x-3x+9+4 \\ y=x^2-6x+13 \\ \\ a=1,b=-6,c=13 \end{gathered}

The vertex of the function is calculated using the formula:


\begin{gathered} x=-(b)/(2a) \\ x=-(-6)/(2(1))=(6)/(2)=3 \\ x=3 \\ \\ y=(x-3)^2+4 \\ y=(3-3)^2+4=0^2+4=0+4 \\ y=4 \\ \\ (x,y)=(h,k)=(3,4) \end{gathered}

For the function, we assume values for x to solve. We have:


\begin{gathered} y=(x-3)^2+4 \\ x=1 \\ y=(1-3)^2+4=-2^2+4=4+4 \\ y=8 \\ x=2 \\ y=(2-3)^2+4=-1^2+4=1+4 \\ y=5 \\ x=3 \\ y=(3-3)^2+4=0^2+4=0+4 \\ y=4 \\ x=4 \\ y=(4-3)^2+4=1^2+4=1+4 \\ y=5 \\ x=5 \\ y=(5-3)^2+4=2^2+4=4+4 \\ y=8 \\ \\ (x,y)=(1,8),(2,5),(3,4),(4,5),(5,8) \end{gathered}

We then plot the graph of the function:
