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 \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\) is a smooth curve with one turning point. The turning ...

Abstract: Calculating the first-arrival traveltimes of quasi-compressional (qP) waves has important applications in geophysics. In practice, geophysical problems often involve extensive calculations ...
