You could complete the square to state the vertex. 
You could use the quadratic equation to find the roots (which are complex). 

Try an example that will require both.

y = x^2 + 2x + 5

Step One
Get the graph. That's included below.

Step Two
Provide the steps for completing the square.
Note: we should get (-1,4)

y= (x^2 +2x ) + 5
y = (x^2 +2x + 1) + 5 - 1
y = (x +1)^2 + 4

The vertex is at (-1,4)

Step Three
Find the roots. Use the quadratic equation. Note that the graph shows us that the equation never crosses or touches the x axis. The roots are complex.

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

a = 1
b = 2
c = 5

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2} - 4*1*5 } }{2}
\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 20 } }{2}
\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{-16 } }{2}
\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm 4i }{2}
x = -1 +/- 2i

x1 = -1 + 2i
x2 = -1 - 2i And we are done.

Find the ratio of the similar known sides:

1.34/2 = 0.67

The smaller triangle is 0.67 the size of the larger one.

Multiply the similar sides by the ratio:

DE = 4 x 0.67 = 2.68

FE = 3 x 0.67 = 2.01
