Answer
$k(p) =5(p-5)^2-105$
Work Step by Step
The conversion of the function to the standard vertex form is self explanatory. All mathematical steps are shown below. \begin{aligned}
k(p)&=5 p^2-50 p+20\\
& = 5\left(p^2-10 p\right) +20 \\
& = 5\left[p^2-10 p+\left( \frac{10}{2} \right)^2 \right]+20-5\cdot \left( \frac{10}{2} \right)^2 \\
& =5(p^2-10 p+5^2)^2+20-5\cdot 5^2\\
&= 5(p-5)^2-105.
\end{aligned}
