Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: A

y = X2 - 3x + 2, (\frac{dy}{dx}) = 2x - 3

at turning pt, (\frac{dy}{dx}) = 0

∴ 2x - 3 = 0

∴ x = (\frac{3}{2})

(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}) = (\frac{d}{dx})((\frac{d}{dx}))

= 270

∴ ymin = 2(\frac{3}{2}) - 3(\frac{3}{2}) + 2

= (\frac{9}{4}) - (\frac{9}{2}) + 2

= -(\frac{1}{4})
