Answer:


f(x)=x^2

Explanation:

All three functions in the figure are parabolic and thus share the parent function
y=x^2. They are horizontally dilated by some constant (unless they aren't) and can all be represented with
y=\pm ax^2, where
a is some constant.

Plug in point the line passes through to find that constant. For
f(x), we can see the function clearly passes through (2,4):


4=a\cdot 2^2,\\4=4a,\\a=1

Therefore, the function of
f(x) is
f(x)=1x^2=\boxed{x^2}
