Find the Maximum/Minimum Value f(x)=3x^2+18x+25

$f (x) = 3 x^{2} + 18 x + 25$

The maximum or minimum of a quadratic function occurs at $x = - \frac{b}{2 a}$ . If $a$ is negative, the maximum value of the function is $f (- \frac{b}{2 a})$ . If $a$ is positive, the minimum value of the function is $f (- \frac{b}{2 a})$ .

$f_{min}$ $x = a x^{2} + b x + c$ occurs at $x = - \frac{b}{2 a}$

Find the value of $x$ equal to $- \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

$x = - \frac{b}{2 a}$

Substitute in the values of $a$ and $b$ .

$x = - \frac{18}{2 (3)}$

Remove parentheses.

$x = - \frac{18}{2 (3)}$

Simplify $- \frac{18}{2 (3)}$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$x = - \frac{3 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = - \frac{3}{1}$

Divide $3$ by $1$ .

$x = - 1 \cdot 3$

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$x = - 3$

Replace the variable $x$ with $- 3$ in the expression.

$f (- 3) = 3 {(- 3)}^{2} + 18 (- 3) + 25$

Simplify the result.

Subtract $54$ from $27$ .

$f (- 3) = - 27 + 25$

Add $- 27$ and $25$ .

$f (- 3) = - 2$

The final answer is $- 2$ .

$- 2$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to find where the minimum occurs.

$(- 3, - 2)$
