What is the difference between a polynomial and a quadratic equation?
Oh, dude, it's like this: all quadratic equations are polynomials, but not all polynomials are quadratic equations. A quadratic equation is a specific type of polynomial that has a degree of 2, meaning it has a highest power of x^2. So, like, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, you know what I mean?
What does each variable represent in standard form?
There are different standard forms for different things. There is a standard form for scientific notation. There is a standard form for the equation of a line, circle, ellipse, hyperbola and so on.
Explain a Quadratic equation and how to solve it?
A quadratic equation is any equation that can be expressed as ax2 + bx + c = 0.Note that the a, b and c are specified, x is the only unknown.Example:x2 - 10x - 24 = 0a, b, c are the coefficients of each term.Now x2 appears not to have a coefficient, but remember x2 is the same thing as 1x2 so the coefficient is 1. So a = 1.The second term has a coefficient of -10 because it has a minus, not plus sign in front of it so b = -10.Likewise for c, the third term. C = -24.So you have your terms.There are two popular ways of solving this.You can factorise the equation, or use the Quadratic Formula.I prefer to use the Quadratic Formula, as it is very straightforward, you just need to practise it.The quadratic formula is x = (-b±√(b2-4ac))/2a
How do you determine the solutions on a graph for a quadratic equation?
The X-Intercepts are the solutions. If you have an algebra calculator, you can usually find them by going to CALC>Zero>enter the left and right boundaries for each side.
How do you write an algebraic equation for the number of members divide by six is fifteen?
M/6 = 15Multiply each side of the equation by 6 :M = 90
