Answer:
Period =½
Equation of midline, y=0
Maximum =2
Minimum=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
The period is given by:
The equation of the midline is y=0 since there is no vertical shift
The amplitude of this function is 2 so the range is -2≤y≤2.
Hence the maximum value is 2 and minimum value is -2
Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far: 
. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides. 
. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process. 
. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
