Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : -25/4 Given: The polynomial is x2 – 13x + 36 Formula Used: If polynomial ax2 + bx + c, then Min/Max value of polynomial = c – b2/4a Calculation: For polynomial x2 – 13x + 36 a = 1, b = -13, and c = 36 Minimum value of the polynomial = c – b2/4a ⇒ 36 – (-13)2/4 × 1 ⇒ (36 × 4 – 169)/4 ⇒ (144 – 169)/4 ⇒ -25/4 ∴ The minimum value of x2 – 13x + 36 is -25/4. |
