This is the general form of a quadratic equation. The letters a, b, and c are constants to be supplied. a must be nonzero for it to remain a quadratic, but b and c can be any real numbers. It will plot a parabola, opening up or down, depending on the coefficient(a). Coefficient (a) will also determine how steeply the parabola changes. The coefficients b and c (along with a) will determine where the parabola is located.
