All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

A quadratic equation is drawn as a curve on a set of axes. This type of curve is called a parabola and it is symmetrical. To draw the graph we need coordinates. We generate these coordinates by ...

This video gives you the fastest and easiest method to understand and sketch parabolas—no complex math required. We break it down step-by-step: finding the vertex, identifying the axis of symmetry, ...

As part of a series of electronic professional development experiences for educators, the NASA Explorer Schools project is hosting a 60-minute Web seminar on Sept. 27, 2011, at 8 p.m. EDT. Investigate ...

In mathematics, a quadratic is a type of problem that deals with a variable multiplied by itself — an operation known as squaring. This language derives from the area of a square being its side length ...

This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...
