okay in the quadratic function...SAY...Y= ax(squared)+ bx+ c what does each one of those variables mean.. like is b the y-intercept and c is the slope you know.. i sure dont
\n" ); document.write( "NO ..THIS IS A CURVE.SO IT DOES NOT HAVE A CONSTANT SLOPE LIKE A ST.LINE.IT HAS VARIABLE SLOPE DIFFERENT AT EACH POINT ON THE CURVE.
\n" ); document.write( "IT MAY HAVE INTERCEPTS ON X AXIS IF Y=0 HAS REAL ROOTS.SAY IF
\n" ); document.write( "Y=X^2-5X+6=0...THEN THERE ARE 2 INTERCEPTS AT X=2 AND 3.
\n" ); document.write( "IF Y=X^2+1=0....THEN IT DOES NOT CUT X AXIS.
\n" ); document.write( "IF Y=X^2-4X+4=0....THEN IT TOUCHES X AXIS AT X=2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
