Determine Whether the Given Quadratic Function Has a Minimum Value $$f ( x ) = 4 x ^ { 2 } + 2 x + 2$$

Multiple Choice

Determine whether the given quadratic function has a minimum value or maximum value. Then find the
coordinates of the minimum or maximum point.
- $$f ( x ) = 4 x ^ { 2 } + 2 x + 2$$

A) minimum; $\left( - \frac { 1 } { 4 } , \frac { 7 } { 4 } \right)$
B) maximum; $\left( - \frac { 1 } { 4 } , \frac { 7 } { 4 } \right)$
C) minimum; $\left( \frac { 7 } { 4 } , - \frac { 1 } { 4 } \right)$
D) maximum; $\left( \frac { 7 } { 4 } , - \frac { 1 } { 4 } \right)$
