Which best describes a minimum value of a polynomial?

a. a point on the graph of the polynomial that has a smaller x-value than any nearby points on the graph
b. a point on the graph of the polynomial that has a greater y-value than any nearby points on the graph
c. a point on the graph of the polynomial that has a greater x-value than any nearby points on the graph
d. a point on the graph of the polynomial that has a smaller y-value than any nearby points on the graph

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

i think it will be zero as slope has a formula of difference between initial and final distance divided by itz time interval
