dunctions are not set equal to a value
Nature Of The Zeros Of A Quadratic Function The quantity b2_4ac that appears under the radical sign in the quadratic formula is called the discriminant.It is also named because it discriminates between quadratic functions that have real zeros and those that do not have.Evaluating the discriminant will determine whether the quadratic function has real zeros or not. The zeros of the quadratic function f(x)=ax2+bx+c can be expressed in the form S1= -b+square root of D over 2a and S2= -b-square root of D over 2a, where D=b24ac.... hope it helps... :p sorry for the square root! i know it looks like a table or something...
How about the distance travelled when you are accelerating at a constant rate? eg falling under the influence of gravity?
an equation has an equals sign.
There are an infinite number of different quadratic equations. The quadratic formula is a single formula that can be used to find the pair of solutions to every quadratic equation.

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.
Both are polynomials. They are continuous and are differentiable.
A quadratic function is a function where a variable is raised to the second degree (2). Examples would be x2, or for more complexity, 2x2+4x+16. The quadratic formula is a way of finding the roots of a quadratic function, or where the parabola crosses the x-axis. There are many ways of finding roots, but the quadratic formula will always work for any quadratic function. In the form ax2+bx+c, the Quadratic Formula looks like this: x=-b±√b2-4ac _________ 2a The plus-minus means that there can 2 solutions.
They are both polynomial functions. A quadratic is of order 2 while a cubic is of order 3. A cubic MUST have a real root, a quadratic need not.
A quadratic equation is wholly defined by its coefficients. The solutions or roots of the quadratic can, therefore, be determined by a function of these coefficients - and this function called the quadratic formula. Within this function, there is one part that specifically determines the number and types of solutions it is therefore called the discriminant: it discriminates between the different types of solutions.

that's true
Unless the operands form an arithmetic sequence, it is not at all simple. That means the difference between successive points must be the same. If that is the case and the SECOND difference in the results is constant then you have a quadratic.
