Vertex: (-3, -6)(3,6), minimum
Domain: (-oo, oo)(,)
Range: (-6, oo)(6,)

Explanation:

This parabola is written in vertex form, where y=a(x-h)^2+ky=a(xh)2+k. This form makes it simple to find what you need to know. The parabola has vertex (h, k)(h,k), which in this problem is (-3, -6)(3,6). Because aa is positive, in this case just 11, we know the parabola opens upward. Therefore, the vertex is the minimum point on the parabola. The domain of any parabola (when yy is a function of xx) is (-oo, oo)(,) or all real numbers. Since, the parabola has a minimum height at y=-6y=6 and expands upward forever, its range is (-6, oo)(6,).
