$y = \frac{5}{96} {(x + 11)}^{2} + 6$ $y = 5/96(x+11)^2 + 6$
or
$y = \frac{5}{96} x^{2} + \frac{55}{48} x + \frac{1181}{96}$ $y = 5/96 x^2 + 55/48x + 1181/96$

Explanation:

The standard form of a parabola is $y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$ $y = a(x-h)^2 + k$ , where $a$ $a$ is a constant, vertex is $(h, k)$ $(h, k)$ and the axis of symmetry is $x = h$ $x = h$ .

Solve for $a$ $a$ by substituting $h = - 11, k = 6 & x = 13, y = 36$ $h = -11, k = 6 " & " x = 13, y = 36$ :

$36 = a {(13 + 11)}^{2} + 6$ $36 = a(13+11)^2 + 6$

$36 = 576 a + 6$ $36 = 576a + 6$

$30 = 576 a$ $30 = 576a$

$a = \frac{30}{576} = \frac{5}{96}$ $a = 30/576 = 5/96$

Equation in standard form is $y = \frac{5}{96} {(x + 11)}^{2} + 6$ $y = 5/96(x+11)^2 + 6$

General form is $y = A x^{2} + B x + C$ $y = Ax^2 + Bx +C$

Distribute right side of the equation:
$y = \frac{5}{96} (x^{2} + 22 x + 121) + 6$ $y = 5/96 (x^2 + 22x + 121) + 6$

$y = \frac{5}{96} x^{2} + \frac{55}{48} x + \frac{605}{96} + 6$ $y = 5/96 x^2 + 55/48x + 605/96 + 6$

$y = \frac{5}{96} x^{2} + \frac{55}{48} x + \frac{1181}{96}$ $y = 5/96 x^2 + 55/48x + 1181/96$
