Question #1fa6c

Answer 1

Min/Minimum.

Explanation:

The coefficient of `x^2` is a positive number (`+1`). Hence, the shape of your quadratic is a `U` shape.

You can also use calculus to determine it. Just take the double derivative.
`d^2/(dx^2)(x^2+6x+8)=2`
You get `2` for all values of `x`. The positive number suggests a minimum. A negative suggests a maximum.
