We are given the following equation:


y=2x^2+36x+170

To transform this to vertex form we will first take 2 as a common factor:


y=2(x^2+18x+85)

Now we will rewrite the expression inside the parenthesis as:


y=2(x^2+18x+81+4)

Now we assotiate terms:


y=2((x^2+18x+81)+4)

Factoring the expression inside the parenthesis:


y=2((x+9)^2+4)

Using the distributive property:


y=2(x+9)^2+8

And thus we get the equation in vertex form.
