first of all the function has to be
y = a(x+1)(x-3) but we don't know what a is
the axis of symmetry and thus the vertix is midway between the x-intercepts.
So from your information the vertex is (1,4)
then
4 = a(1+1)(1-3)
a = -1
so y = -(x+1)(x-3) or y = -x^2 + 2x + 3
y = a(x+1)(x-3) but we don't know what a is
