Which of the follling represents a function that has a parabola with a minimum point of ?
Which of the follling represents a function that has a parabola with a minimum point of ?
To solve this problem, we need to ensure that the parabola's vertex is located at . We use the vertex form of a quadratic equation , where is the vertex of the parabola.
Given the minimum point or vertex as , we identify and . Substituting these into the vertex form gives:
Since we are looking for a parabola with a minimum point, should be positive. The simplest positive value for is 1, giving:
This matches choice 1. Therefore, the correct representation of the function is:
