Does the function f(x) = 2x^2− 6x + 9 have a minimum or a maximum? identify its value.

minimum value of function is   .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function represents a parabola.

Now, here coefficient of is positive , so the parabola will be facing upwards and thus the function will be having a minimum.

Now, as we know that minimum value of a parabolic function occurs at

x = .

Where , b represents the coefficient of x and a represents the coefficient of .

here, a = 2 , b = -6

Thus =

                                            =  

So, at x =    minimum value will occur and which equals

y = 2× - + 9 =   .

Thus , minimum value of function is   .

the answer would be  

a.
