You can put this solution on YOUR website! can you u show me how to put a equation in vertex form?
---
You need to "complete the square".
---
Example:
y = 2x^2 + 3x + 5
----
y = 2(x^2 + (3/2)x) + 5
---
y = 2(x^2+(3/2)x+(3/4)^2) + 5 - (3/4)^2
--
y = 2(x+(3/4))^2 + (80/16)-(9/16)
---
y = 2(x+(3/4)^2 + (71/16)
----
Vertex: (-3/4,71/16)
