Answer:
The co-ordinates which give the minimum value for the quadratic function are (-7, -47)
Step-by-step explanation:
i) the quadratic function f(x) = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 14x + 2
= [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 14x + 49 - 49 + 2
= [tex](x + 7)^{2}[/tex] - 49 + 2
= [tex](x+7)^{2}[/tex] - 47
ii) The minimum value of the result of the quadratic equation in i) will be achieved when [tex](x + 7)^{2}[/tex] is zero as any square value is always positive and thus the minimum value of a square is always zero.
iii) [tex](x + 7)^{2}[/tex] is zero when x = -7 and when x = -7 then y = f(x) = -47
iv) The co-ordinates which give the minimum value for the quadratic function are (-7, -47)
