False.
The minimum value of a function refers to the smallest y-value or output value that the function can attain, not the x-value or input value. To find the minimum value of a function, you need to identify the point or points where the function reaches its lowest value. This can be done by techniques such as finding critical points, evaluating the function at those points, and comparing the values to determine the minimum.
