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 \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

In a [previous post](/dotphysics/2008/09/basics-making-graphs-with-kinematics-stuff-part-ii/), I talked about how to plot kinematics data with a spread sheet and how ...

This article studies the accuracy of two versions of Kydland and Prescott's (1980, 1982) procedure for approximating optimal decision rules in problems in which the objective fails to be quadratic and ...

Sept. 9 (UPI) --Google is celebrating the start of the 2025-26 school year with a quadratic equation-themed Doodle. The mathematical formula has useful applications across physics, engineering and ...

In developing quality-control procedures, a step-loss function has been used implicitly or explicitly to describe consumer perceptions about product quality. A quadratic loss function has been ...

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 ...
