If a vertical line passes through the supposed function at only one spot then you have a function.
Y = X2 ===== The graph of this parabola is crossed only at a point and once by a vertical line, so it is a function. Passes the vertical line test.
The given equation is not that of a parabola.
Standard notation for a quadratic function: y= ax2 + bx + c which forms a parabola, a is positive , minimum value (parabola opens upwards on an x-y graph) a is negative, maximum value (parabola opens downward) See related link.
It depends on where points h and k are, in which parabola. Since you have chosen not to share that information, there cannot be any sensible answer to this question.

The equation does not represent that of a parabola.
Yes, it is.

The parabola
A parabola is a type of graph that is not linear, and mostly curved. A parabola has the "x squared" sign in it's equation. A parabola is not only curved, but all the symmetrical. The symmetrical point, the middle of the parabola is called the vertex. You can graph this graph with the vertex, x-intercepts and a y-intercept. A parabola that has a positive x squared would be a smile parabola, and the one with the negative x squared would be a frown parabola. Also, there are the parabolas that are not up or down, but sideways Those parabolas have x=y squared, instead of y = x squared.
It is a function because for every point on the horizontal axis, the parabola identified one and only one point in the vertical direction.
It is a square root mapping. This is not a function since it is a one-to-many mapping.
Any equation where variable a = some multiple of variable b2 + constant will graph a parabola.
