1) if you want to find the roots:
For this case we have the following quadratic equation:
To find the solutions we do
We add 5 to both sides of the equation:
DIviding between 4 to both sides of the equation:
We apply square root to both sides:
Thus, the roots are:
Answer:
2): if you want to write the equation in vertex form:
The general quadratic equation is:
where,
a: is the leading coefficient
(h,k): is the verex of the quadratic equation
Comparing with the original equation we have
So, the vertex is:
Answer
The quadratic equation in vertex form is:
