The function is increasing where its slope is positive. That is where each point is higher than the one to its left. You see that is the case for all points to the left of the vertex, which is at x=-5.
The domain where the function is increasing is x < -5.

At the vertex, the function is horizontal, neither increasing nor decreasing. So, the vertex itself is not included in the domains of increase or decrease.
please sorry to barge into your question without any reasonable answer all I want to say is that this is a graph and I think that the domain and range this is increasing to calculate like the unit for example you have - 9 and - 3 you should calculate how many units are between -9 and -2 I'm not sure and I just really need marks now point where I can get on with my procedure so sorry for just barging in like that I'm so sorry
