Parabolas Quadratics Parabolas: Quadratic Equations A quadratic equation is a second order polynomial equation in one variable that appears in a variety of applications. The general formula is For quadratics with coefficient a 0 the graph is a parabola. The simplest example is y = x2 whose ≠ graph is Other parabolas: ) (See In applications involving quadratic equations the result often requires that you solve . There are three ways to solve this equation: Factoring (prerequisite) Use the quadratic formula; Completing the Square; (also a prerequisite, see )
