Answer:

x^2-4x+3

Explanation:

Since the zeroes of the quadratic are 1 and 3, we can set up an equation in factored form:

(x-1)(x-3)

=x^2-4x+3

We can further check that this is the right answer by evaluating it at the vertex:

(2)^2-4*2+3=-1

Since that corresponds to the graph, the answer is x^2-4x+3
