Question
If x is real, the minimum value of x2 – 8x + 17 is ______.
Options
– 1
0
1
2
Solution
If x is real, the minimum value of x2 – 8x + 17 is 1.
Explanation:
Let f(x) = x2 – 8x + 17
f'(x) = 2x – 8
For local maxima and local minima, f'(x) = 0
∴ 2x – 8 = 0
⇒ x = 4
So, x = 4 is the point of local maxima and local minima.
f'(x) = 2 > 0 minima at x = 4
∴
= 16 – 32 + 17
= 33 – 32
= 1
So the minimum value of the function is 1.
