    We want to write g (x) = 40x + 4x² in vertext form.

    Note that

    The vertex form of a parabola, with vertex at (h, k) is

    f (x) = a (x-h) ² + k

    Also

    (x + a) ² = x² + 2ax + a², so that

    x² + 2ax = (x + a) ² - a²

    Therefore

    g (x) = 4x² + 40x

    = 4[x² + 10x]

    = 4[ (x + 5) ² - 5²]

    = 4 (x + 5) ² - 100

    Answer:

    g (x) = 4 (x + 5) ² - 100.

    g (x) is in vertex form, and the vertex is at (-5, - 100)
