document.write( "The best way to understand this is first understand the word \"Linear\" It has to do with a straight line. Notice the word \"line\" in linear. Now the other thing to know is when using to the second power ^2 forms a curve. Parabola curve is formed. This kind of curve is like when you hold the ends of rope. The curve of the rope forms a parabola. <BR>\n" );
