We look for the minimum of each function.
For f (x) = 3x2 + 12x + 16:
We derive the function:
f '(x) = 6x + 12
We match zero:
6x + 12 = 0
We clear the value of x:
x = -12/6
x = -2
We substitute the value of x in the equation:
f (-2) = 3 * (- 2) ^ 2 + 12 * (- 2) + 16
f (-2) = 4
For g (x) = 2sin(x-pi):
From the graph we observe that the minimum value of the function is:
y = -2
Answer:
A function that has the smallest minimum y-value is:
y = -2
The answer to this problem is 1 :)
