  2. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    Parabola. Part of a parabola (blue), with various features (other colours). The complete parabola has no endpoints. In this orientation, it extends infinitely to the left, right, and upward. The parabola is a member of the family of conic sections. In mathematics, a parabola is a plane curve which is mirror-symmetrical and is approximately U ...

  3. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    Quadratic formula. The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 2 ⁠x2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x -axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

  4. Quadrature of the Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_of_the_Parabola

    Quadrature of the Parabola ( Greek: Τετραγωνισμὸς παραβολῆς) is a treatise on geometry, written by Archimedes in the 3rd century BC and addressed to his Alexandrian acquaintance Dositheus. It contains 24 propositions regarding parabolas, culminating in two proofs showing that the area of a parabolic segment (the region ...

  5. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Quadratic equation. In mathematics, a quadratic equation (from Latin quadratus ' square ') is an equation that can be rearranged in standard form as [ 1] where x represents an unknown value, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. (If a = 0 and b ≠ 0 then the equation is linear, not quadratic.)

  6. Semicubical parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicubical_parabola

    In mathematics, a cuspidal cubic or semicubical parabola is an algebraic plane curve that has an implicit equation of the form. (with a ≠ 0) in some Cartesian coordinate system . Solving for y leads to the explicit form. which imply that every real point satisfies x ≥ 0. The exponent explains the term semicubical parabola.

  9. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    The degree of the sum (or difference) of two polynomials is less than or equal to the greater of their degrees; that is, and . For example, the degree of is 2, and 2 ≤ max {3, 3}. The equality always holds when the degrees of the polynomials are different. For example, the degree of is 3, and 3 = max {3, 2}.
