At what value of X does the function y = -3 - 2x + X2 attain a minimum value?

A.

-1

B.

14

C.

4

D.

1

Correct Answer: 1

Explanation

Given that y = -3 - 2x + X2 then, dy/dx = -2 + 2x At maximum value, dydx = O therefore, -2 + 2x 2x = 2 x = 2/2 = 1

Given that y = -3 - 2x + X2 then, dy/dx = -2 + 2x At maximum value, dydx = O therefore, -2 + 2x 2x = 2 x = 2/2 = 1
