Question

What is a minimum - pre cal

Answer 1

Answer:  y-value of the vertex of a ∪-shaped (positive) parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic: it is the y-value of the vertex of a positive parabola.

If it is a negative parabola  ( ∩-shaped), it is the maximum.

For a cubic: it is the y-value of all of the vertices of the ∪-shaped sections of the graph.  These are typically referred to as the "relative minima" when given an interval.
