How do you determine wheather a quadratic function has a maximum or minimum and how do you find it?
In theory you can go down the differentiation route but because it is a quadratic, there is a simpler solution. The general form of a quadratic equation is y = ax2 + bx + c If a > 0 then the quadratic has a minimum If a < 0 then the quadratic has a maximum [and if a = 0 it is not a quadratic!] The maximum or minimum is attained when x = -b/2a and you evaluate y = ax2 + bx + c at this value of x to find the maximum or minimum value of the quadratic.
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
What 2 numbers times together to make 8 and add together to make -7?
i would say 1 and 8 however you have asked for a -7 so maybe HERE YOU GO -8+1Another Answer:-The numbers are: -5.561552813 and -1.438447187A more accurate calculation can be made by using the quadratic equation formula
What is the number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation?
The number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation is called the solution or root of the equation. This number satisfies the equation when substituted for the variable. In algebra, finding the solution involves solving for the variable by performing various operations to isolate it on one side of the equation. The solution is the value that balances both sides of the equation, making it true.
What is the equation for finding the nth term of a nonlinear sequence?
There is no set equation for finding the nth term of a non- linear sequence. You have to go through a procedure to find the equation suitable for your given sequence. You would have to post the equation itself or re phrase your question for the answer.
