Answer

Vertex: $(-1, 3)$ Opens upward x-intercept: none y-intercept: 5

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=2x^2+4x+5$ $f(x)=(2x^2+4x)+5$ $f(x)=2(x^2+2x)+5$ $f(x)=2(x^2+2x+(2/2)^2)+5-2*(2/2)^2$ $f(x)=2(x^2+2x+(1^2)+5-2*(1)^2$ $f(x)=2(x^2+2x+1)+5-2*1$ $f(x)=2(x+1)^2+5-2$ $f(x)=2(x+1)^2+3$ Vertex: $(-1, 3)$ Opens upward $x=0$ $f(x)=2x^2+4x+5$ $f(0)=2*0^2+4*0+5$ $f(0)=2*0+0+5$ $f(0)=0+5$ $f(0)=5$ Since the vertex of the graph has a minimum y-value of 3 and opens up, there are no lower points. Thus, there are no x-intercepts. y-intercept: 5
