Answer:
(x+10)^2+119=0

Explanation:

For a quadratic equation, the vertex form is given by :
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h, k) is the vertex.

The given quadratic equation:
x^2 + 20x + 28 = 9

Subtract 9 from both sides


=x^2+20x+19=0

compare this to
x^2+bx=c, and add
((b)/(2))^2 both sides

b= 20


x^2+20+100+19=-100 [(b/2)²=20/2=10]


\Rightarrow\ x^2+2(x)(10)+10^2+119=0


\Rightarrow\ (x+10)^2+119=0\ \ \ [\because\ (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab]

So, the vertex form :
(x+10)^2+119=0
