Yes, that's the same thing.
Try the quadratic formula. X = -b ± (sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a)
Distributive
There is an infinity of ways of finding rectangles fulfilling this, and another infinity of ways of finding ellipses fulfilling this, and another infinity of other shapes fulfilling this.
Yes.
The discriminant of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c is b2 - 4ac.
She was afraid it would be constant. (Constance) She was afraid it would be a related function.
Evaluating a polynomial is finding the value of the polynomial for a given value of the variable, usually denoted by x. Solving a polynomial equation is finding the value of the variable, x, for which the polynomial equation is true.
Try the quadratic formula. X = -b ± (sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a)
Substitute that value of the variable and evaluate the polynomial.

Slant asymptotes are obscure and those will not be used in any decent class, but they are found by long dividing and using only the polynomial part, not the remainder over the divisor, and that is the equation for the slant asymptote. For example, ( -3x^2 + 2 ) / ( x - 1 ) when long divided out becomes -3x - 3 - ( 1 / x - 1 ). The last term drops and it becomes -3x - 3. Horizontal asymptotes are found by taking the limit of the function as x tends towards infinity and negative infinity. Vertical ones are found by finding points where the graph is undefined (where the denominator is 0).
Rational functions and polynomial functions both involve expressions made up of variables raised to non-negative integer powers. They can have similar shapes and behaviors, particularly in their graphs, where they may exhibit similar end behavior as the degree of the polynomial increases. Additionally, both types of functions can be manipulated algebraically using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, although rational functions can include asymptotes due to division by zero, which polynomial functions do not have. Both functions can also be analyzed using techniques such as factoring and finding roots.
Yes.
It means finding numbers (constant terms), or polynomials of the same or smaller order that multiply together to give the original polynomial.
The discriminant of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c is b2 - 4ac.
Taking the modulus of the wave function allows us to obtain the probability density of finding a particle at a particular position in quantum mechanics. This is because the square of the modulus of the wave function gives us the probability of finding the particle in a given volume element.
