Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{y=2x^2+4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

(h, k) - vertex

We have the vertex at (0, 4) → h = 0 and k = 4.

Substitute:

[tex]y=a(x-0)^2+4=ax^2+4[/tex]

The point (-1, 6) is on the parabola. Put the coordinates of the point to the equation:

[tex]6=a(-1)^2+4[/tex]            subtract 4 from both sides

[tex]2=a\to a=2[/tex]

Finally:

[tex]y=2x^2+4[/tex]
