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.
Bad form. A skilfully thrown bowling ball travels on a curve.
The straight ball.
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.
The Koch curve was first described in 1904.
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 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.
