Answer

$y=A(x-1)^2+2,A>0$

Work Step by Step

Vertex=$(1,2)$ -It is an upward opening parabola -Since it opens upward and the minimum point(the vertex) is at $(1,2)$, the parabola has no x-intercept -Since it opens upward. The leading coefficient of the function of the parabola is positive -Since we have the equation of the parabola, $x=-b/2a=1=-b=2a$ -Equation of the parabola is of the form of $A(x-1)^2+2$, whereas $A$ is the leading coefficient and it is positive
