Vertex form of equation is y=13( x+7/13)^2-20 3/13

Explanation:

y=13 x^2+14 x+24 or

y=13 (x^2+14/13 x)+24 or

y=13 {x^2+14/13 x+(7/13)^2}-49/13+24 or

y=13( x+7/13)^2-263/13 or

y=13( x+7/13)^2-20 3/13. Comparing with standard vertex

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

we find here h= -7/13 , k=-20 3/13 :. Vertex is at

(-7/13 , -20 3/13) . Vertex form of equation is

y=13( x+7/13)^2-20 3/13 [Ans]
