Question

Compare the functions below: Which function has the smallest minimum?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. All three functions have the same minimum value

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -3 sin (x-pi) +2

Sin has a minimum value of -1, but since it is multiplied by a negative, we want its maximum value

sin has a maximum of 1

f (min) = -3(1) +2 = -1

g(x) has a minimum at x =3  

g(minimum) = -1

h(x) = (x+7)^2 -1

        The smallest a squared value can be is zero

     = 0 -1

h(min) =-1
