A quadratic curve has the form C2X2+C1X1+C0 where (C2,C1,C0) are coefficients.

If C2=0, it degrades to the equation for line. C1 or C0 may also =0

How do you draw a quadratic curve in Excel?

The related link below illustrates 3 ways of drawing a curve. The techniques are easily adapted to a quadratic curve.


How do you solve a quadratic equation graphically?

The roots of the quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of the curve.


Where do you find the solutions to a quadratic equation on a graph?

The solutions to a quadratic equation on a graph are the two points that cross the x-axis. NB A graphed quadratic equ'n produces a parabolic curve. If the curve crosses the x-axis in two different points it has two solution. If the quadratic curve just touches the x-axis , there is only ONE solution. It the quadratic curve does NOT touch the x-axis , then there are NO solutions. NNB In a quadratic equation, if the 'x^(2)' value is positive, then it produces a 'bowl' shaped curve. Conversely, if the 'x^(2)' value is negative, then it produces a 'umbrella' shaped curve.


Can you solve all quadratic equations?

NO!!!! On a graph a quadratic equation becomes a parabolic curve. If this curve intersects the x-axis in two places. then there are two different answers. If the curve just touches the x-axix on one place then there are two answers which both have the same valuer. If the curve does NOT touch the x-axis the there are NO solutions.


What is the difference between a linear and quadratic function?

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.


When does a quadratic curve open up?

When a>0, the function opens up. When a<0, the function opens down.


What is a synonym for parabola?

A quadratic curve is often used as a synonym although, strictly speaking, that term can refer to many other curves.


Is parabola a germ?

No, a parabola is a type of geometric curve in mathematics that can be represented by a quadratic equation. It is not related to germs, which are microorganisms that can cause disease.


What is t equals s squared plus 3?

A quadratic equation (t=s2+3). This kind of line will result in a parabola like curve.


What is a parabola and quadratic?

A parabola is a line with one curve, that usually crosses the x-axis of a graph twice (unless the roots are imaginary). To find the roots, set y to zero and use the quadratic formula (-b±√b^2-4AC/2A)


Will any 4 points on a graph produce a Cubic equation?

Any 4 points in the Cartesian plane determine a unique equation that is of degree at most three (i.e., a "cubic" equation). It is, of course, possible that the 4 points actually lie on a degree two ("quadratic"), a degree one ("linear"), or a degree zero ("constant") equation. However, if the 4 points do not lie on a constant, linear, or quadratic curve, then they will like on a unique cubic curve. In general, N points will determine a unique curve of degree at most (N-1).


What are the differences between a Speed vs. Kinetic Energy Graph between a Mass vs. Kinetic Energy Graph?

Look at the equation for kinetic energy.It is clear that relation between mass and kinetic energy is linear (you would get a straight line on the graph), while the relation between speed and kinetic energy is quadratic (you would get a curve, specifically a parabola).
