That is simple. Think about linear equation and graphs. Think about rise over run. Vertical rise up is positive, rise down is negative. (by Stephen Hawking)

What are the steps to solving a quadratic equation?
In general, there are two steps in solving a given quadratic equation in standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0. If a = 1, the process is much simpler. The first step is making sure that the equation can be factored? How? In general, it is hard to know in advance if a quadratic equation is factorable. I suggest that you use first the new Diagonal Sum Method to solve the equation. It is fast and convenient and can directly give the 2 roots in the form of 2 fractions. without having to factor the equation. If this method fails, then you can conclude that the equation is not factorable, and consequently, the quadratic formula must be used. See book titled:" New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford Publishing 2009) The second step is solving the equation by the quadratic formula. This book also introduces a new improved quadratic formula, that is easier to remember by relating the formula to the x-intercepts with the parabola graph of the quadratic function.
How do you find the x value of the vertex of a quadratic equation?
It depends on the level of your mathematical knowledge. One way is to differentiate the quadratic equation and find the value of x for which the derivative is 0. The advantage of this method is that it works for turning points of polynomials of all degrees. The disadvantage is that you need to know differentiation. For a quadratic, an alternative, and simpler way is to write the equation in the form: y = ax2 + bx + c Then the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
Example of quadartic equation in daily life?
If you want to know how high and object will go when you throw it up, you need a quadratic. lots of examples in any algebra book, just look up quadratic word problems
Which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring?
Here are two ways to know if a given quadratic equations can be factored (can be solved by factoring). 1. Calculate the Discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac. When D is a perfect square (its square root is a whole number), then the given equation can be factored. 2. Solve the equation by using the new Diagonal Sum method (Amazon e-book 2010). This method directly finds the 2 real roots without having to factor the equation. Solving usually requires fewer than 3 trials. If this method fails to get the answer, then we can conclude that the equation can not be factored, and consequently the quadratic formula must be used.
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?
How do you know if a equation is a quadratic one?
You know an equation is quadratic by looking at the degree of the highest power in the equation. If it is 2, then it is quadratic. so any equation or polynomial of the form: ax2 +bx+c=0 where a is NOT 0 and a, b and c are known as the quadratic coefficients is a quadratic equation.
How are quadratic equation different from linear equation?
dun know :D
How do you know if a quadratic equation will have one two or no solutions How do you find a quadratic equation if you are only given the solution Is it possible to have different quadratic equation?
Draw the graph of the equation. the solution is/are the points where the line cuts the x(horisontal) axis .
How do you know if a quadratic equation will have whether or not it will have solutions?
Factorise it!
What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
Why Do you Study linear equations?
we study linear equation in other to know more about quadratic equation
How does the slope of a linear equation differ from the slope of a quadratic equation?
i dont know 8x+5y=89
Derive the quadratic formula?
If you know how to complete the square, this link will finish the job for you. http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/quadratic-equation-derivation.html
How does one develop an application that computes the roots of a quadratic equation?
i do not know hahahahahahahaha lol :)
When polynomial is a quadratic polynomial?
Whenever there are polynomials of the form aX2+bX+c=0 then this type of equation is know as a quadratic equation. to solve these we usually break b into two parts such that there product is equal to a*c and I hope you know how to factor polynomials.
