B C D maybe?
The given quadratic describes a parabola that opens upward. Its one absolute extreme is a minimum that is found at x = -3/2. The value of the function there is
(-3/2 +3)(-3/2) -1 = -13/4
The one relative extreme is a minimum at
(-1.5, -3.25).
_____
For the parabola described by ax² +bx +c, the vertex (extreme) is found where
x = -b/(2a)
Here, that is x=-3/(2·1) = -3/2.
P(red) first drawn:
20/36=5/9
P(red) second drawn:
19/35
95/315 or 19/63. As a result, the probability that both marbles are red is 19/63. Hope it help!
