Find a number x such that the sum of that number and its square is the least.
(a) –0.5
(b) 0.5
(c) –1.5
(d) 1.5
(e) 2

Kudos for Kudos[b]

[b]Posted from my mobile device
\(x^2 +x\) should be least.
Option A should fit in.
a) 0.25-0.5= -0.25
b) 0.25+0.5=0.75
c) 2.25-1.5=0.75
d) 2.25+1.5= 3.75
e)4+2 =6

straight answer A
