The minimum value of a function is the place where the graph has a vertex at its lowest point.
There are two methods for determining the minimum value of a quadratic equation. Each of them can be useful in determining the minimum.
(1) By plotting graph
We can find the minimum value visually by graphing the equation and finding the minimum point on the graph. The y-value of the vertex of the graph will be the minimum.
(2) By solving equation
The second way to find the minimum value comes when we have the equation y = ax² + bx + c.
If our equation is in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, you can find the minimum by using the equation min = c - b²/4a.
The first step is to determine whether your equation gives a maximum or minimum. This can be done by looking at the x² term.
If this term is positive, the vertex point will be a minimum; if it is negative, the vertex will be a maximum.
After determining that we actually will have a minimum point, use the equation to find it.
The question is asking what will we get if we add 1+1.
Let us use an example to understand this.
Example:
Suppose Amy has 1 ice cream and her brother Ruth has also got one ice cream.
Now if they both finished their ice creams, how many total ice creams were finished.
So we see that 1 and 1 add up to give two ice creams and so two ice creams are finished by them both.
Applying this to our question adding 1 and 1 gives us 2.
Answer : 1+1 =2
