Vertex form of equation is y = 4 (x+2.375)^2-27.5625

Explanation:

y=4x^2+19x-5 or y = 4 (x^2+19/4x) -5 or y = 4 (x^2+19/4x +19^2/8^2)-4*19^2/8^2 -5 or

y = 4 (x+19/8)^2-361/16 -5 or y = 4 (x+19/8)^2-441/16 or

y = 4 (x+2.375)^2-27.5625 Comparing with standard vertex form of equation y=a(x-h)^2 + k ;(h.k) being vertex.

We get vertex at (-2.375, -27.5625)

Vertex form of equation is y = 4 (x+2.375)^2-27.5625 [Ans]
