OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its a really hard question, so...

OpenStudy (m3ga-bit3):

u werent kidding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah D:

h is the x coordinate of the minimum value of f(x)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

this is called the vertex form of a quadratic function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So on the graph it would be the lowest one posssible?

OpenStudy (m3ga-bit3):

ya u should listen to what ev @cwrw238 has to say

OpenStudy (cwrw238):
