Vertex form of equation is y=2( x +2.25)^2- 15.125

Explanation:

y=2 x^2+9 x-5 or

y=2( x^2+4.5 x) -5 or

y=2( x^2+4.5 x +2.25^2)- 2*2.25^2 -5 or

2*2.25^2 is added and subtracted to get square.

y=2( x +2.25)^2- 15.125

Vertex is at -2.25,-15.125

Vertex form of equation is y=2( x +2.25)^2- 15.125 [Ans]
