vertex is (-2/5,-84/5)

Explanation:

y=(x+4)(3x-4)+2x^2-4x

y=3x^2+8x-16+2x^2-4x

y=5x^2+4x-16

The vertex is given by x=-b/(2a) where the quadratic equation is given by y=ax^2+bx+c

x=-b/(2a) = -4/(2times5)=-4/10=-2/5

Sub x=-2/5 into equation to get the y-value

y=5(-2/5)^2+4(-2/5)-16

y=-84/5

Therefore, your vertex is (-2/5,-84/5)
