Express f (x) = x^2 -2x in the form f(x) = (x - h ) ^2 - k
x^2 - 2x = +2
h = -b/2a and k = h^2
a = 1 , b= -2
h= -(-2)/ 2(1) = 2/2 = 1
k = h^2 = 1^2 = 1
So, x^2 - 2x = (x-1) ^2 - 1
To rewrite the complete equation
f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 1 - 2
f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 3,
[tex]f(x)=(x-1)^2-3[/tex]
The minimum value is is -3
Option D is the answer
