Would the cross section of a satellite dish be modeled by a linear or a quadratic equation?

The satellite dish is a parabolic reflector. A parabola cannot be modeled by a linear equation because a linear equation is one that graphs as a straight line. It takes a second degree expression to plot it, and that means a quadratic equation.

Which equation below represents a generic equation suggested by a graph showing a hyperbola?
A hyperbola is another form of a conical section graph like a parabola or ellipse. Its general form is x^2/a - y^2/b = 1.
What is the equation for the volume of a triangular prism?

What is the shape of a horizontal cross section of a cylinder?
If the cylinder is standing on its flat face, the horizontal cross section is a circle. Otherwise, it is a line or a rectangle.

The standard conic section are described today by Linear equation Bi-quadratic equations Quadratic equations Cubic equations?
The standard of conic section by linear is the second order polynomial equation. This is taught in math.
Is this how you spell quadrat?
The spelling quadrant is an area or section (nominally one-quarter of the total).A similar word to the spelling is "quadratic" (a form of algebraic equation).
How many different equation types are there?
Thanks to the contributors at Wikipedia here is the answer...Equations can be classified according to the types of operations and quantities involved. Important types include:An algebraic equation is an equation involving only algebraic expressions in the unknowns. These are further classified by degree.A linear equation is an algebraic equation of degree one.A polynomial equation is an equation in which a polynomial is set equal to another polynomial.A transcendental equation is an equation involving a transcendental function of one of its variables.A functional equation is an equation in which the unknowns are functions rather than simple quantities.A differential equation is an equation involving derivatives.An integral equation is an equation involving integrals.A Diophantine equation is an equation where the unknowns are required to be integers.A quadratic equationTo learn more click on the Wikipedia Link in the sources and references section below.

Do some satellite providers give satellite installation training for their employee?
Satelllite installation training is often provided by the hiring company. The "career opportunities" section will provide that information.
Advantages and disadvantages of using journals in mathematics?
Somebody (possibly in seventh-century India) was solving a lot of quadratic equations by completing the square. At some point, he noticed that he was always doing the exact same steps in the exact same order for every equation. Taking advantage of the one of the great powers and benefits of algebra (namely, the ability to deal with abstractions, rather than having to muck about with the numbers every single time), he made a formula out of what he'd been doing:The Quadratic Formula: For ax2 + bx + c = 0, the value of x is given byThe nice thing about the Quadratic Formula is that the Quadratic Formula always works. There are some quadratics (most of them, actually) that you can't solve by factoring. But the Quadratic Formula will always spit out an answer, whether the quadratic was factorable or not.I have a lesson on the Quadratic Formula, which gives examples and shows the connection between the discriminant (the stuff inside the square root), the number and type of solutions of the quadratic equation, and the graph of the related parabola. So I'll just do one example here. If you need further instruction, study the lesson at the above hyperlink.Let's try that last problem from the previous section again, but this time we'll use the Quadratic Formula:Use the Quadratic Formula to solve x2 - 4x - 8 = 0.Looking at the coefficients, I see that a = 1, b = -4, and c = -8. I'll plug them into the Formula, and simplify. I should get the same answer as before:

When was the senate in Australia built?
In the year 1900, the modern Australian Senate was first established. It was, in part, modeled after the United States senate in that each section of the country has the same say in various issues.
