Vertex and axis of symmetry

Answer:
Vertex = (-3, -1)
Axis of Symmetry: x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex is (-3, -1), the axis of symmetry is x = -3. The x-intercept is -2 and -4, the y intercept is 8, the domain is R, the range is [-1, inf.]
The function is increasing in {-3, inf.} and decreasing in {-inf., 3}
