Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far:

. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides.

. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process.

. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
Okay, don’t freak out. It’s more simple than it seems.
To find the area of this rectangle you use length x length
Let’s look for the length first
Use the bottom left and right points
(-2.25,-1) and (2.25,-1)
The length is a horizontal line so we use the x-coordinates. The distance from -2.25 to 2.25 is 4.5
Now let’s find the height. Let’s use the top left and bottom left coordinates.
(-2.25,4) and (-2.25,-1)
The height is a vertical line. The y-coordinates. Their difference is 5.
So 4.5 x 5 = 22.5
Answer:
it's 4488 Wich would make 187

Can't guess whether you have written 'x' or you have put a sign of multiplication!!
