The equation of a curve is y = ax^2 + 3x + c where a and b are integers. The curve has a minimum point at (1,1), find a and c

We start by trying to find out the values of a and c using the information about the minimum point. We know we can rearrange the right hand side by completing the square: y = a(x^2 + 3x)+cy = a(x+3/2a)^2+...
