according to the question, f(x)=2x^2+4x+3 is a quadratic function then its vertex form is:-

f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k

where  points (h, k) are vertex of this equation now, convert this equation in vertex form:- 

f(x)=2x^2+4x+2+1                      (breakdown 3 into 2 and 1)

f(x) = 2(x^2 + 2x + 1) + 1           (common 2 from 2x^2+4x+2)

f(x) = 2(x + 1)(x + 1) + 1                  ((x+1)^2=x^2+2x+1)

f(x) = 2(x + 1)^2 + 1

f(x)=2(x-(-1))^2+1

h = -1

k = 1

vertex of this quadratic equation (h,k) is (-1,1)
