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 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.


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 a synonym for parabola?

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


How do you find gradient on a quadratic graph?

To find the gradient on a quadratic graph, you first need to determine the derivative of the quadratic function, which is typically in the form (y = ax^2 + bx + c). The derivative, (y' = 2ax + b), represents the gradient at any point (x) on the curve. By substituting a specific (x) value into the derivative, you can find the gradient at that particular point on the graph. This gradient indicates the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the chosen point.

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)


When a quadratic function is graphed what is the name of the shape formed?

When a quadratic function is graphed, the shape formed is called a parabola. This U-shaped curve can open either upwards or downwards, depending on the coefficient of the quadratic term. The vertex of the parabola represents the highest or lowest point of the graph, and the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
