Translation is moving a graph to the left or right, up or down (or both).

Given a quadratic equation of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, if you substitute

u = x - p and v = y - q

then the graph of v against u will be the same as the x-y graph, translated to the left by p and downwards by q.

What are the rules of quadratics?

1. Quadratics should always contain a set of numbers inconjuction with letters (x usually). 2. Quadratics are always in the form ax2 + bx + c. Where a,b and c are constants and x is a variable. 'a' must always equal '0'. 3. The total equation must never equal '0'. 4. To solve quadratics, you DO NOT factorise. 5. To solve quadratics, use the formula x=a, therefore, b=c. 6. The word 'quadratics' literally means four. This in term means that there are four ways you can solve for the answer of the equation.

What nineteenth century French mathematician worked with quadratic formulas?

Evariste Galois worked on quadratics when he was a teenager. He was able to establish the means to solve quadratics using radicals and laid the ground work for what became Galois theory. Unfortunately, he died when he was only 20 years old during a duel.

What are quadratics used for?

I am actually doing a project on quadratics right now. what i have learned is that quadratics are used alot in sports like golf to measure like the curve of a golf ball and they are alos used in buissness and higher math. I couldn't find alot of information about how they were used in real worl scenarios so i focused more on how porabala's are used in architecture, for example i said that the mccdonalds sign is two porabala's put together. This is the pbest i could do !
