hi,
I am taking with my solution on this question, because other posts have provided different solutions within quant concept skill set of GRE
Withous calculus use and derivative of
y=x2−32x+256 set equal to zero, it's practical to factorize the equation firstly
y=x2−32x+256=(x−16)2, when
y=0, x-intercept will be 16 and this is the only intercept here
hence, x-intercept accomodates also the minimum value of
y and it's
