best_answer

f(x)  = x ^2 + 2x -5
f^{'}(x) = 2x + 2 = 2(x+1)
Now, 
f^{'}(x) = 0 \\ 2(x+1) = 0\\ x = -1

The range is from (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (-1,\infty)
In interval (-\infty,-1)   f^{'}(x)= 2(x+1) is -ve .Hence, function f(x)  = x ^2 + 2x -5 is strictly decreasing in interval  (-\infty,-1). In interval (-1,\infty)  f^{'}(x)= 2(x+1) is +ve. Hence, function f(x)  = x ^2 + 2x -5 is strictly increasing in interval  (-1,\infty)
