Given the vertex (h, k) = (1, 3) and the y-intercept (0, 1), we can use the vertex form of a quadratic function to find the equation.
The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k
Plug in the vertex (h, k) = (1, 3):
f(x) = a(x - 1)^2 + 3
Now, we'll use the y-intercept point (0, 1) to find the value of 'a'. Plug the x and y values of the y-intercept into the equation:
1 = a(0 - 1)^2 + 3
Solve for 'a':
1 = a(1) + 3
-2 = a
Now that we've found 'a', we can write the equation of the quadratic function in vertex form:
f(x) = -2(x - 1)^2 + 3
The equation of the given quadratic function is:
f(x) = -2(x - 1)^2 + 3
