Question

Consider the quadratic function
f (x )= ax^2 + c , a ≠ 0.

If a > ​0, then f has a minimum that occurs at x = _______. This minimum value is​ _______.
If a < ​0, then f has a maximum that occurs at x=_______. This maximum value is​ _______.

Answer 1

Answer:

Min: at x = 0, value = c

Max: at x = 0, value = c

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = ax² + c

Comparing to a(x - h)² + k,

h = 0, k = c
