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 \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

A quadratic equation is drawn as a curve on a set of axes. This type of curve is called a parabola and it is symmetrical. To draw the graph we need coordinates. We generate these coordinates by ...

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 ...

In this article, we will demonstrate how to use the graphing feature in the Windows calculator to try and make mathematics more fun. Microsoft has always strived to kick up a notch the Windows ...
