\n The general equation of a vertical parabola (i.e. a parabola whose axis is vertical) is a quadratic equation of the form —\n $$y = a x^2 + b x + c$$\n where \\(a \\ne 0\\), \\(b\\) and \\(c\\) are real numbers.\n
\r\n The red curve shown in the MagicGraph is a vertical parabola.\r\n Find the equation of this parabola.\r\n
