.

As the problem is worded, printed, posted and presented, there are INFINITELY MANY quadratic functions with the pre-assigned vertex.

They all have the form / (an equation)

        y   =   a*(x-(-3))^2 + 4   =   a*(x+3)^2 + 4,

where "a" is an arbitrary non-zero real number.

So, NETHER the original post is formulated correctly, NOR the answer by @MathLover1 is correct.

            To be totally clear,   they   B O T H   are   I N C O R R E C T.
