The second difference of a quadratic equation being one indicates the second derivative at that point is positive. What you do from there depends on what property or transformation you're looking for with respect to the equation.

What is the difference between a linear quadratic and a quadratic quadratic?

There is no quadratic equation that is 'linear'. There are linear equations and quadratic equations. Linear equations are equations in which the degree of the variable is 1, and quadratic equations are those equations in which the degree of the variable is 2.


What are the roots of the quadratic equation below?

That depends on the equation.


What is the difference between a polynomial and a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is of degree 2, that is, the highest power is 2. A polynomial is not an equation, however, you can convert it into an equation by setting the polynomial equal to zero for example. A polynomial EQUATION can be of any degree: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

What is the difference between a linear function and a quadratic equation?

A linear equation describes a line like 2x+1=y. If you were to graph that equation, then it would give you a line. A quadratic equation is like x^2+2x+1=y. Graphing this equation would give you a U shaped graph called a parabola.


Can you solve 3x2-x equals -1?

Set the equation equal to zero. 3x2 - x = -1 3x2 - x + 1 = 0 The equation is quadratic, but can not be factored. Use the quadratic equation.

An equation with a degree of 2?

An example of an equation with a degree of 2 is (y = 3x^2 + 2x + 1). This is a quadratic equation because the highest power of (x) is 2.


Is the equation x2 plus 2x plus 1 quadratic?

It is a quadratic expression and when factored is: (x+1)(x+1)


What is a quadratic eqation?

A quadratic equation is an equation where the highest exponent on the variable is 2. For example, the equation, y=2x2+3x-2 is a quadratic equation. The equation y=2x is not quadratic because the highest exponent on x is 1. (If there is no exponent on an x, then the exponent is 1.) The equation, y=x3+3x2-2 is not quadratic because the highest exponent is three. On a graph, a quadratic equation looks like a U or and upside down U. Here are some more example of quadratic equations: y=x2 y=3x2+2x-3 y=x2+5


In general how many distinct solutions are there to a quadratic equation?

the maximum number of solutions to a quadratic equation is 2. However, usually there is only 1.


Where quadratic equation is applicable?

A quadratic equation in its general form of ax2+bx+c = 0 whereas 'a' is equal or greater than 1 is applicable when finding the unknown variable of x by using the quadratic equation formula.
