The statement is false.
To determine the minimum value of a function, you need to find the smallest y-value of the function, not the smallest x-value.
To find the minimum value of a function, you typically need to analyze the entire function and look for the point(s) where the function is at its lowest point. This can be done by finding the critical points (where the derivative of the function is zero or undefined), analyzing the behavior of the function around these points (using the first or second derivative test), or using other mathematical techniques specific to the function.
False.
The minimum value of a function is the smallest y-value (output) of the function, not the smallest x-value (input).
