Quadratic equations are basic to algebra and are the math behind parabolas, projectiles, satellite dishes and the golden ratio.

The graph below has a turning point (3, -2). Write down the nature of the turning point and the equation of the axis of symmetry. For the parabola \(y=(x+6)(x-4)\) determine the coordinates and nature ...

When asked to solve a quadratic equation, we are really finding the roots – where the parabola cuts the x-axis, therefore when we have the graph drawn, it is very easy to do this. Looking at the graph ...

A parabola is a curved line with particular characteristics. Any point on the curve is the same distance from a fixed point and a fixed straight line. The result looks like half of an ellipse or the ...
