Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:
which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is
Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:
which gives:
or 
We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,
, for

a) (2a - b)² = (4a² - 4ab + b²)
b) (10m - n²)² = (100m² - 20mn² + n⁴)
