#y=3/4x^2-1#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"vertex form"# is.

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=a(x-h)^2+k)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where ( h , k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a constant.

#"here "h=0" and "k=-1#

#rArry=ax^2-1#

#"to find a use the point "(2,2)" in the equation"#

#2=4a-1rArra=3/4#

#rArry=3/4x^2-1larrcolor(red)" in standard form"#
