Not sure if your equation is y=%281%2F2%29x%5E2%2Bx%2B5 or y=%281%2F2%29x%5E2-x%2B5
Complete the square.
y=%281%2F2%29x%5E2%2Bx%2B5
y=%281%2F2%29%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B1%29%2B5-1%2F2
y=%281%2F2%29%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B9%2F2
Or
y=%281%2F2%29x%5E2-x%2B5
y=%281%2F2%29%28x%5E2-2x%2B1%29%2B5-1%2F2
y=%281%2F2%29%28x-1%29%5E2%2B9%2F2
