quadratic equation |
|
---|---|
Any equation where at least one term has degree 2 and no term has degree higher than 2. The standard equation Ax2 + By2 + Cxy + Dx + Ey + F = 0 represents all quadratic relations in one or two variables. (pp. 23, 171, 177, 188) | |
quadratic formula |
|
This formula gives you the solutions , for a quadratic equation in one variable that can be written in the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0. (p. 23) | |
quadratic function |
|
A quadratic equation that can be written y = ax2 + bx + c is also a quadratic function where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. Its graph is a parabola with a vertical orientation. The graphing form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x − h)2 + k. (pp. 177, 188) | |
quadratic relation |
The conic sections are quadratic relations. See “general quadratic equation,” “quadratic equations,” “parabola,” “ellipse,” and “hyperbola.” (p. 593) | |
quotient |
|
The result of a division problem is a quotient with a remainder (which could be 0). When a polynomial p(x) is divided by a polynomial d(x) the a polynomial q(x) will be the quotient with a remainder r(x). The product of q(x) and d(x) plus the remainder r(x) will equal the original polynomial. p(x) = d(x)q(x) + r(x) . (p. 472) | |
