The sum of an infinitely decreasing geometric progression is equal to the least value of the function

f(x)=3 x^2-x+\frac{25}{12}

and the first term of the progression is equal to the square of its common ratio. Then, the common ratio is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\sqrt{3}-1

Option B (

\sqrt{{3}}-1

) is correct because it is the common ratio of the geometric progression, derived by minimizing the function and solving the resulting quadratic equation.
