Question

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Vertex: (-2,1)

Maximum or Minimum: The graph has minimum point and gives minimum value because the minimum point gives the least y-value. That's why it is called minimum.

End of behavior:

When x approaches positive infinity, f(x) will approach positive infinity.

When x approaches negative infinity, f(x) will approach positive infinity as well.

Why no solution:

The graph doesn't intercept any x-axis. Therefore the graph doesn't have any solutions.

y-intercept: (0,5)

describe shape of the graph:

The graph decreases when x<0 and increases when x>0.

x<0 is concave up but decreasing

x>0 is concave up but increasing
