See below

We need to graph the parabola using the direction, vertex, focus, and axis of symmetry.

The meaning of:

Vertex: It is the highest point.

Focus: Is the curriculum with problem solving as the center of math.

Axis of symmetry: A line through a shape so that each side is a mirror image.

Direction: Opens up
Vertex: $(1,4)$
Focus: $(1, 17/4)$
Axis of symmetry: $x=1$
Directrix: $y=15/4$
