Create a function that will evaluate ?(?)=?2+4?+4. Find the minimum of the function in the interval (-40, 40). Do this by solving ?(?) for 500 values of x between -40 and 40 and finding the least. Do NOT use any built-in function to find the minimum nor to obtain 500 values of x.

def funct1(x):
result = x**2 + 4*x + 4
return result
for i in range (-40, 41):
print("The value of the function when x =", i, "is", funct1(i))
