Answer

The graph of $f\left( x \right)={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{2}}+3$ has its vertex at $\left( 5,3 \right)$. False.

Work Step by Step

For the standard equation of the parabola $f\left( x \right)=a{{\left( x-h \right)}^{2}}+k$ , the vertex is $\left( h,k \right)$. So, consider the given function $\begin{align} & f\left( x \right)={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{2}}+3 \\ & ={{\left( x-\left( -5 \right) \right)}^{2}}+3 \end{align}$ Equate to the standard equation, $h=-5\text{ and }k=3$,vertex is at $\left( -5,3 \right)$.
