(conic section) Find focus point given the equation of the parabola $ (3x^2-6x+2) $

$begingroup$
Judging by the picture, I don't think the focus point is correct, as it outside of the parabola. I derived the coordinates of the parabola by first determining the a, b, and c value. $$a=3, b=(-6), c=2$$ And then using the formula for the focus point: $$F=(b/(2a), 1/(4a) + d/(4a))$$ Calculations What is the correct focus point?
