A minimum because the function is positive. Positive quadratic functions always concave upwards (in a “bowl-like” shape), creating a curve/minimum at the bottom.
We're looking for a scalar function
such that
. That is,


Integrate the first equation with respect to
:

Differentiate with respect to
:

Integrate with respect to
:

So
is indeed conservative with the scalar potential function

where
is an arbitrary constant.
