Answer:

So, the vertex form of your function is f(x)=2*(x+2)^2+7

The vertex is at (-2|7)

This is the graph of your function.

vertex point at (-2|7)

Explanation:

f(x)=2*x^2+8*x+15

f(x)=2*(x^2+4*x+15/2) ( Factor out )

f(x)=2*(x^2+4*x+(2)^2+-1*(2)^2+15/2) ( Complete the square )

f(x)=2*((x+2)^2+-1*(2)^2+15/2) ( Use the binomial formula )

f(x)=2*((x+2)^2+1*7/2) ( simplify )

f(x)=2*(x+2)^2+7 ( expand )
