Answer

$f(x)=4(x-2)^2-3$

Work Step by Step

The vertex equation of a parabola is given as: $f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ Here, $(h,k)$ represents vertex. Given: Vertex: $(h,k)=(2,-3)$ At point $(3,1)$ , Thus, we have $f(x)=a(x-2)^2-3$ and $1=a(3-2)^2-3 \implies a=4$ Thus, the vertex equation of a parabola is: $f(x)=4(x-2)^2-3$
