Which of the following equations has the sum of its roots?
x2 - 5x + 6 = 0
x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
x2 + 5x - 6 = 0
The minimum value of (x - 2) (x - 9) is
0
D.
(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
