X^2+4x-5 can be written as (x+p)^2+q. Find P and Q?
I know how to convert it into the final form but what i do not know is how to determine if the answer would be positive or negative

Explanation:
Assuming your question is stated as below :
By comparison,
Explanation:
"convert to vertex form using "color(blue)"completing the square"
•color(white)(x)y=a(x-h)^2+klarrcolor(blue)"vertex form"
"where "(h,k)" are the coordinates of the vertex and a"
"is a multiplier"
• " the coefficient of the "x^2 " term must be 1 which it is"
• " add/subtract "(1/2"coefficient of the x-term")^2" to"
x^2+4x
=x^2+2(2)xcolor(red)(+4)color(red)(-4)-5
=(x+2)^2-9larrcolor(red)"in vertex form"
rArr-h=2rArrh=-2" and "k=-9
"compare with "(x+p)^2+qrArrp=2" and "q=-9
graph{(y-x^2-4x+5)((x+2)^2+(y+9)^2-0.04)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
