vertex will be the high (mound shaped) or low point (bowl shaped)

 

the point given is HIGHER than the vertex    .... so this is bowl shaped

Vertex   (h,k)   =  (0,2)

 

vertex form   y = a(x-h)^2 + k

                     y = a (x-0)^2 + 2

\sub in the point given to calc 'a'

 

6 = a4^2 + 2

4 = 16a    a = 1/4

 

 

y = 1/4x2 + 2
