g x = x 2 + 55 What is the minimum value of the given function?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. For a quadratic function defined by an equation of the form g x = a x - h 2 + k , where a , h , and k are constants and a > 0 , the minimum value of the function is k . In the given function, a = 1 , h = 0 , and k = 55 . Therefore, the minimum value of the given function is 55 . Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of x for which the given function reaches its minimum value, not the minimum value of the function. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
