A quadratic function $$f(x)=x^2+2px+p$$ has the minimum value of –p with $$p\neq0$$. If the curve's symmetrical axis is x = a, then a – f(a) = ...
A. –6
B. –4
C. 4
D. 6
E. 8
Because the curve's symmetrical axis is x = a, then:
$$-\frac{2p}{2(1)}=a$$
–p = a
a – f(a) = –p + (–p) = 0
I got zero. Is there anything I did wrong?
