Answer:

g(x) = x² + 4x + 5

Explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k ) = (- 2, 1 ), thus

y = a(x + 2)² + 1

To find a substitute (0, 5) ← y- intercept into the equation

5 = a (0 + 2)² + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

4 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 1

g(x) = (x + 2)² + 1 ← in vertex form

Expand parenthesis and simplify

g(x) = x² + 4x + 4 + 1, then

g(x) = x² + 4x + 5 ← in standard form
