You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y+=+4%28x+%2B+3%292+%2B+4
Almost all the work is done for you. The way the equation is written, you can clearly see that for x=-3 the fist term is zero and y=4
For any other value of x, the first term is positive and y>4.
The point (-3, 4) is the vertex and minimum of that parabola.
