Answer:

The function has a minimum of -1 at x = 3

The function is increasing on the interval: (3,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval (-∞,3)

Explanation:

Since our parabola opens upwards on the graph, the function has a minimum.

The minimum is the lowest x-value and y-value in the function.

From left to right, the function is moving downwards (decreasing) from x = -∞ to x = 3.

From left to right, the function is moving upwards (increasing) from x = 3 to x = ∞
