Whether in the context of quadratic functions, parabolic mirrors or alternative energy designs like solar cookers, the parabola holds a special place in science and mathematics — particularly ...

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 ...

Roots can occur in a parabola in 3 different ways as shown in ... 169\textgreater0\) therefore roots are real and unequal. To solve the quadratic equation, we make \(y = 0\) and since the question ...
