Answer:
The minimum is also known as the vertex
First you need to identify the coefficients of a and b
a = 1, b = 6
Step 1 : sub in a = 1 and b = 6 and solve
x = - 6 / 2 x 1
x = 03
Step 2 : evaluate the function for x = -3
f(x) = x^2 + 6x - 1; x = -3
Step 3 : calculate the function value of x = -3
f(-3) = -10
The vertex aka the minimum is:
( -3, -10 )
Hope this helps ya!
