Which statements are true about the graph of the function f of x is equal to 6 x minus 4 plus x squared ? Choose two correct answers.

Complete the square: f(x) = x² + 6x − 4 = (x + 3)² − 13. This gives the vertex (−3, −13), so statement E is true. Since the parabola opens upward, it increases to the right of its vertex, over the interval (−3, ∞), making statement C true.
