The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Given that the vertex is (2, -1), we can substitute h = 2 and k = -1 into the equation to get f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 1.

We also know that the point (1, 2) lies on the graph of the function, so we can substitute x = 1 and f(x) = 2 into the equation to solve for a:

2 = a(1 - 2)² - 1
2 = a(1) - 1
2 + 1 = a
a = 3

So, the quadratic function is f(x) = 3(x - 2)² - 1.
