  • negative 11 over 4

  • 49 over 4

  • 0

  • negative 49 over 4


D.

negative 49 over 4

(x - 2) (x - 9)
      = (x2 - 2x - 9x + 18) = (x2 - 11x + 18)
      As the co-efficient of x2 is greater than 0, 
∴ Minimum value of (x - 2) (x - 9) is given by,
      = (-D/4a)
      =  - (b2 - 4ac)/4a
      = - (121 - 4*1*18)/4*1
      = - (121 - 72)/4
     =   - 49/4
