Use multiply or space to have your expression represent what you intended.
Minimize[a*x^2 + b*x + c, x]

Hello,
I have a problem with with the examples for using the
Minimize function given in the documentation on wolfram.com:
When trying:
Minimize[ax^2+bx+c,x]
I receive the following error:
Minimize::objv:
The objective function c+bx+ax^2 contains a nonconstant
expression c independent of variables (x).
Is there something wrong with the command or the
documentation?
Thanks.
