Using answer to previous question state the coordinates of the minimum

From previous question y=2(x+2)2-1Minimum would be when (x+2)2 is at it's smallest value, in this case when (x+2)=0 since any other value squared would be greater than 0. This occurs when x=-2, and y at this point would be y=-1 when put into the equation (2(0)-1=-1)Coordinates are (-2,-1)

At each point P of a curve for which x > 0 the tangent cuts the y-axis at T, and N is the foot of the perpendicular from P to the y-axis. If T is always 1 unit below N and the curve passes through the point (1,0), find the Cartesian equation of the curve.
