The side lengths are given in proportions which are 2:3:5:6. The perimeter is given as the sum of all the sides which is given as 48 cm. Using ratio and proportion, the sum of all the sides or the perimeter is proportional to the sum of all the fractions and the largest fraction is proportional to the longest side of the quadrilateral. 

Let x be the longest side of the quadrilateral. The largest proportion is 6. 
6/(2+3+5+6) = 6/16
6/16 = x/48

x= 18 cm. The longest side is 18 cm. The other sides are 6, 9, 15 using the other proportions.

Complete the square than convert to vertex form. y=2x^2+8x-9​
8_murik_8 [283]

y=2x^2+8x-9\\D=b^2-4ac\\D=64-4(2)(-9)\\D=64+72 > 0

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

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.

Vertex Form: y=2(x+2)^2-17
