Find the minimum value of x2 – 13x + 36.1. -25/42. -16/53. 25/44. 16/5

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.
