Determine whether has a maximum or a minimum value and find that value.

First of all, recall that every parabola can be written as

If , the parabola is concave up (and thus it has a minimum value).

If , the parabola is concave down (and thus it has a maximum value).

So, in your case, the parabola in concave up.

The x-coordinate of the minimum can be found using

And the y-coordinate will be

So, the minimum value is -19/2 at x=1.

x=half

step-by-step explanation:

divide the cost of the total of sodas you bought by the cost of one soda, for example:
