The related link below illustrates 3 ways of drawing a curve. The techniques are easily adapted to a quadratic curve.
The roots of the quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of the curve.
The solutions to a quadratic equation on a graph are the two points that cross the x-axis. NB A graphed quadratic equ'n produces a parabolic curve. If the curve crosses the x-axis in two different points it has two solution. If the quadratic curve just touches the x-axis , there is only ONE solution. It the quadratic curve does NOT touch the x-axis , then there are NO solutions. NNB In a quadratic equation, if the 'x^(2)' value is positive, then it produces a 'bowl' shaped curve. Conversely, if the 'x^(2)' value is negative, then it produces a 'umbrella' shaped curve.
A quadratic curve has the form C2X2+C1X1+C0 where (C2,C1,C0) are coefficients. If C2=0, it degrades to the equation for line. C1 or C0 may also =0
NO!!!! On a graph a quadratic equation becomes a parabolic curve. If this curve intersects the x-axis in two places. then there are two different answers. If the curve just touches the x-axix on one place then there are two answers which both have the same valuer. If the curve does NOT touch the x-axis the there are NO solutions.
A linear function is a line where a quadratic function is a curve. In general, y=mx+b is linear and y=ax^2+bx+c is quadratic.
Bad form. A skilfully thrown bowling ball travels on a curve.
The straight ball.
Baseball is the only sport to have a technique officially called a 'curve ball'. However, the various forms of bowling, including bowls (aka lawn bowling) also sometimes refer to the hooking of the ball after its release as a curve.
The Koch curve was first described in 1904.
The dragon curve was first described by Benoit Mandelbrot.
Its relative to your style of bowling, speed, curve and the pins left on the lane for your second throw.
