![**Transcription for Educational Website:**
### Problem Description:
"Write an equation (any form) for the quadratic graphed below."
### Graph Analysis:
The graph displayed is a parabola opening upwards. It intersects the y-axis at (0,1), and the x-axis at approximately (-1,0) and (3,0). The vertex of the parabola is at the minimum point, around (1,0).
- **X-axis:** Ranges from -5 to 5
- **Y-axis:** Ranges from -5 to 5
- **Vertex:** (1, 0)
- **Y-intercept:** (0, 1)
### Task:
Using the given graph, determine a possible equation for the quadratic function in any form (standard, vertex, or factored form).
### Example Solution:
To write the equation, recognize the vertex form of a quadratic function:
\[ y = a(x - h)^2 + k \]
where (h, k) is the vertex.
Given the vertex (1,0), substitute into the vertex form:
\[ y = a(x - 1)^2 \]
To find "a", use another point from the graph, such as the y-intercept (0,1):
\[ 1 = a(0 - 1)^2 \]
\[ a = 1 \]
Thus, the equation of the parabola could be:
\[ y = (x - 1)^2 \]
This is a potential equation based on the visible points on the graph. Other forms of the equation can be derived similarly.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F96ace507-8b82-49f0-86f2-665dacead034%2Fd7931a2f-2c0c-4aa0-9ba1-a40495654033%2Fekyg6w8_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
