Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3.3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, minimum value of \(x^2+5 x-2\) is \(M\) and it exists at \(a\). So, \(\begin{aligned} & \text { So, } & a & =\frac{-5}{2} \\ & \therefore & M & =\left(\frac{-5}{2}\right)^2+5\left(\frac{-5}{2}\right)-2 \end{aligned}\)…
