- A1
- B0
- Correct answerC2
- D3
Solution
$x^2+3 x+2=\min \{|x-3|,|x+2|\}$

$\begin{aligned} & y=x^2+3 x+2 \\ & y=x^2+2\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) x+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{9}{4}+2 \\ & y=\left(x+\frac{3}{2}\right)^2-\frac{1}{4} \\ & y+\frac{1}{4}=\left(x+\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \text { Parabola vertex }\left(\frac{-3}{2}, \frac{-1}{4}\right) \end{aligned}$ $\Rightarrow$ By graph 2 solution possible

$\begin{aligned} & y=x^2+3 x+2 \\ & y=x^2+2\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) x+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{9}{4}+2 \\ & y=\left(x+\frac{3}{2}\right)^2-\frac{1}{4} \\ & y+\frac{1}{4}=\left(x+\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \text { Parabola vertex }\left(\frac{-3}{2}, \frac{-1}{4}\right) \end{aligned}$ $\Rightarrow$ By graph 2 solution possible
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
