Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far: 
. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides. 
. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process. 
. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.

1. Balance after 1 year with simple interest= 600 + (2.5 x 12) = 600 + 30 = $630
2. Balance after 1 year with compounded interest = P ( 1 +
= 600 ( 1 + = 600 (1.0511) = $630.66 = approx. $630
