There are 2 roots so the only way to complete the square is,
![y=2x^2+8x-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x)]-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x+4)-4]-9\\y=2[(x+2)^2-4]-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-8-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-17](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/dlh6m2mrhf57tem2bcq5167h43yx7osyye.png)
Just factor 2 out of 2x^2+8x (just ignore the -9) then find the number that will make the terms be able to complete the square.
then complete the square and multiply 2 inside the brackets.
subtraction as you already get the vertex form and know how to complete the square.
