Answer

\(\boxed{\text{The vertex of the function }f(x)=3(x-2)^{2}+4\text{ is }(2,4)\text{ and the axis of symmetry is }x=2}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The function given is $f(x)=3(x-2)^{2}+4$

Step 2 :The vertex form of a parabola is $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$, where $(h,k)$ is the vertex

Step 3 :Comparing this with the given function, we can see that $h=2$ and $k=4$

Step 4 :So, the vertex of the function is $(2,4)$

Step 5 :The axis of symmetry for a parabola in vertex form is $x=h$

Step 6 :So, the axis of symmetry for this function is $x=2$

Step 7 :\(\boxed{\text{The vertex of the function }f(x)=3(x-2)^{2}+4\text{ is }(2,4)\text{ and the axis of symmetry is }x=2}\)
