given:
Vertex (2,3); passing through (1,6)

f%28x%29+=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk where h and k are coordinates of the vertex

if vertex (2,3) => h=2 and k=3

f%28x%29+=a%28x-2%29%5E2%2B3

if the parabola passing through (1,6)
6+=a%281-2%29%5E2%2B3.........solve for a
6+=a%28-1%29%5E2%2B3
6-3+=a%2A1
a=3
and equation is:
f%28x%29+=3%28x-2%29%5E2%2B3
