Answer:
y = x² + 2x + 5
Step-by-step 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 the vertex = (- 1, 4), thus
y = a(x + 1)² + 4
To find a substitute (0, 5) a point on the graph into the equation
5 = a(0 + 1)² + 4
5 = a + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
a = 1, thus
y = (x + 1)² + 4 ← expand and simplify
= x² + 2x + 1 + 4
= x² + 2x + 5
