Vertex form of equation is y =7/2(x-5/14)^2+3 3/56

Explanation:

2y =7x^2-5x+7 or y =7/2x^2-5/2x+7/2 or

y =7/2(x^2-5/7x)+7/2 or

y =7/2{x^2-5/7x+(5/14)^2}-7/2*(5/14)^2+7/2 or

y =7/2{x^2-5/7x+(5/14)^2}-25/56+7/2

y =7/2(x-5/14)^2+171/56. Comparing with vertex form of

equation f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k ; (h,k) being vertex we find

here h=5/14 , k=171/56 or k = 3 3/56

So vertex is at (5/14,3 3/56) and vertex form of

equation is y =7/2(x-5/14)^2+3 3/56 [Ans]
