Vertex form of equation is # y = (x +4.5)^2 + 7.75#

Explanation:

# y = x^2 + 9 x +28# or

# y = (x^2+ 9 x +4.5^2) - 4.5^2+ 28# or

# y = (x +4.5)^2 - 20.25+ 28# or

# y = (x +4.5)^2 + 7.75# Comparing with vertex form of

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

here #h= -4.5 , k=7.75 :.# Vertex is at #( -4.5,7.75) #

and vertex form of equation is # y = (x +4.5)^2 + 7.75#
