Answer

$m(d) = 4(d+3)^2-66$

Work Step by Step

The conversion of the function to the standard vertex form is self explanatory. All mathematical steps are shown below. $$ \begin{aligned} m(d)&=4 d^2+24 d-30\\ & = 4\left(d^2+\frac{24}{4} d\right) -30 \\ & = 4\left[d^2+6d +\left( \frac{6}{2} \right)^2 \right]-30-4\cdot \left( \frac{6}{2} \right)^2 \\ & =4(d^2+6d+3^2)^2-30-4\cdot 3^2\\ &= 4(d+3)^2-66. \end{aligned} $$
