    f (x) = 3 (x + 1) ² + 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use the method of completing the square

    3x² + 6x + 5

    = 3 (x² + 2x) + 5

    add / subtract (half the coefficient of the x-term) ² to x² + 2x

    = 3 (x² + 2 (1) x + 1 - 1) + 5

    = 3 (x + 1) ² - 3 + 5

    f (x) = 3 (x + 1) ² + 2 ← in vertex form
