(4, 66)

Explanation:

Point of inflection is where the direction of the curve changes.
Point of inflection is where the second derivative equals 0.
Find the second derivative of f(x),
dy/dx=4x+8
(d^2y)/dx^2=4

Substitute x=4 to the original equation to find the y coordinate.
2(4)^2+8(4)+2=66
The point of inflection is (4, 66)
