Answer:
Minimum value of f(x) = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
We convert it to vertex form:
x^2 - 6x + 8
= (x - 3)^2 - 9 + 8
= (x - 3)^2 - 1
The minimum value occurs when (x - 3)^2 = 0 because a square has a minimum value of zero ( it cannot be negative for real values of x).
So the function has a minimum value of -1.
