Answer:
Max or Min: min
Domain: (−∞, ∞)
Range: (−2, ∞)
Increasing interval: (−4, ∞)
Decreasing interval: (−∞, -4)
Explanation:
Max or Min: You determined that the curve opens upwards meaning that the vertex is at the min. If it opened down then it would be at the max.
In mathematical terms: if a > 0, the parabola opens upward and the vertex is a minimum. If a < 0, the parabola opens downward, and the vertex is a maximum.
Domain: This is all possible x values, since the parabola is upwards its going to have any possible x values
Range: this is all possible y values. we know that the vertex point (min) doesn't go less than the value of -2 for y but anything above is possible hence -2 is the lowest possible y value and anything beyond above
Increasing interval: The derivative of a function may be used to determine whether the function is increasing or decreasing on any intervals in its domain. If f′(x) > 0 at each point in an interval I, then the function is said to be increasing on I.
Decreasing interval: The derivative, then set it equal to 0, and then find between which zero values the function is negative.
