Respuesta :
The required equation is [tex]y=(x-2)^2[/tex]
The correct answer is an option (C)
What is an equation?
"It is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two algebraic expressions."
For given question,
We have been given four equations.
We need to find an equation for which y is always greater than or equal
to -1.
Consider,
A. y = ∣x∣ - 2
We know that the minimum value of ∣x∣ is 0.
So, the minimum value of y becomes -2
Hence, this is not a required equation.
B. [tex]y=x^{2} -2[/tex]
We know that the square of any number is always positive.
The minimum value of [tex]x^{2}[/tex] is 0.
So, the minimum value of y becomes −2
Hence, this is not a required equation.
C. [tex]y=(x-2)^2[/tex]
We know that the square of any number is always positive.
The minimum value of y is zero.
This means, the y value of equation [tex]y=(x-2)^2[/tex] is always greater than -1.
D. [tex]y=x^3-2[/tex]
We know that [tex]x^3[/tex] can go have negative values. This means it may have value that tends to negative infinity.
This means, the y can be less than -1 and this is not a required equation.
Therefore, the required equation is [tex]y=(x-2)^2[/tex]
The correct answer is an option (C)
