Why a quadratic equation is called quadratic?
Quadratic equations are called quadratic because quadratus is Latin for "square"; in the leading term the variable is squared.
Discovered quadratic equation?
Quadratic equation
How do quadratic inequalities differ from quadratic equations?
I dont know the answer
What is the quadratic equation used for?
It is used to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored. Usually you would factor a quadratic equation, identify the critical values and solve, but when you cannot factor you utilize the quadratic equation.
How many methods are there for solving quadratic equations?
There are several methods for solving quadratic equations, although some apply only to specific quadratic equations of specific forms. The methods include:Use of the quadratic formulaCompleting the SquareFactoringIterative methodsguessing
What does a graph with a quadratic relationship look like?
Like a parabola. Not "like": it would be.
What do quadratic equations look like?
ax2 + bx + c
What is a quadratic relationship?
A quadratic relationship is a mathematical relationship that can be expressed by a quadratic formula in which the highest exponent is two (i.e., x squared). On a graph, this relationship will look like a parabola.
What does quadratic formulas look like?
ax2 +bx + c To find roots of any quadratic equation. X = - b (+/-) sqrt(b2 - 4ac)/2a
What is the locus of a moving point so that the distance between it and a line is equal to the distance between it and a fixed point?
It is going to look like a somewhat of a quadratic parabola.
What does it mean for a quadratic to have one solution?
Every quadratic equation has two solutions. If the quadratic expression that's equal to zero is a perfect square, then the two solutions are equal, and they look like one solution. Example: x2 - 6x + 9 = 0 (x - 3)(x - 3) = (x - 3)2 = 0 x = 3 and x = 3.
How do you know whether it is possible to factorise a quadratic expression?
Look in an advanced maths book.Improved answer:-If the discriminant of the quadratic expression is less than zero then it's not possible to factor it.
How was the quadratic formula developed?
The quadratic formula can be derived by used a method called completing the square. It's like using algebra to solve for x. The process is explained the related link "Derivation of Quadratic Formula".
How do you factor 2Y2 plus 6Y-4?
It is not factorable because if you do the quadratic formula you get -6+/- √ 68 __________ 4 √ is a square root sign...sorry it doesnt really look like one quadratic formula x=-b+/- √ b2-4ac ____________ 2a a=2 b=6 c=-4
Quadratic Formula for solving 5x100?
Unfortunately, the browser used by Answers.com for posting questions is incapable of accepting mathematical symbols. This means that we cannot see the mathematically critical parts of the question. We are, therefore unable to determine what exactly the question is about and so cannot give a proper answer to your question. However, even allowing for that, it does not look like you have a quadratic equation and so you would not use the quadratic formula to solve it!
How could the quadratic equation be used in technology?
As one example, the quadratic equation can be used to model many different phenomena - if you were to measure the height of a baseball as it was thrown straight up in the air and pulled down again, and plot the height with respect to time, it would look like a quadratic equation. Computer modelling is a large field with many applications in physics, meterology, and even social sciences.
What is the difference between quadratic function and quadratic formula?
A quadratic function is a function where a variable is raised to the second degree (2). Examples would be x2, or for more complexity, 2x2+4x+16. The quadratic formula is a way of finding the roots of a quadratic function, or where the parabola crosses the x-axis. There are many ways of finding roots, but the quadratic formula will always work for any quadratic function. In the form ax2+bx+c, the Quadratic Formula looks like this: x=-b±√b2-4ac _________ 2a The plus-minus means that there can 2 solutions.
