Answer:

-2

Explanation:

since the parabola opens upwards, the minimum is at the vertex of the parabola and the maximum is infinity, because the lines of a parabola goes on forever

you look for the smallest x value for the parabola and since you can see that the vertex of the parabola lies on x=-2, the minimum value of the function is -2.

Hope that helps :)
