The minimum value of a square function that is open up is in the vertex.
The formula of a vertex:
[tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\\\\V(p;\ q)\\\\p=\dfrac{-b}{2a};\ q=f(p)=\dfrac{-(b^2-4ac)}{4a}[/tex]
We have:
[tex]g(x)=x^2-6x-12\\\\a=1,\ b=-6;\ c=-12[/tex]
a = 1 > 0 therefore the parabola is open up.
[tex]p=\dfrac{-(-6)}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{6}{2}=3\\\\q=g(3)=3^2-6(3)-12=9-18-12=-21[/tex]
Answer: The minimum value of function g(x) is equal -21 for x = 3.
The minimum value of the function g(x) =x² - 6x - 12 is at -21.
Polynomial is an expression consisting of only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication of variables.
Polynomials are classified by degree as linear, quadratic, cubic, etc.
Given the polynomial, g(x) =x²-6x-12, the minimum value is at g'(x) = 0. Hence:
g'(x) = 2x - 6
2x - 6 = 0
2x = 6
x = 3
g(3) = (3)² - 6(3) - 12 = -21
The minimum value of the function g(x) =x² - 6x - 12 is at -21.
