Let's see.

Explanation:

Let the function given be y such that

y=f(x)=x2+2x+3

Now differentiating w.r.t x:

dydx=2x+2

Now the second order derivative is :

d2ydx2=2

Now, the second order derivative is negative.

Hence, the function only has an extrema & no minima.

Therefore the point of maxima is 2.

The maximum value of the function is f(2).

Hope it Helps:)
