Answer

$f(x)=2(x-2)^{2}$

Work Step by Step

The equation of the parabola will be in the form $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$ For $a\gt 0$, the minimum function value is $k$. For $a\lt 0$, the maximum function value is $k.$ Here, the minimum is $(2,0)$ which means $a$ is positive, therefore the shape of the parabola is as $f(x)=2x^{2}$ is. $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$ Substitute $a=2,h=2,k=0$ $f(x)=2(x-2)^{2}$
