Answer:
which is the first option in the list of possible answers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the minimum of a parabola generated by a quadratic expression is at the vertex of the parabola, and the formula for the vertex of a quadratic of the general form:
is at
For our case, where we have:
And when x = 1, the value of "y" is:
Recall now that we can write the quadratic in what is called: "vertex form" using the coordinates of the vertex as follows:
Then, for our case:
Then, for the quadratic equal to zero as requested in the problem, we have:
