A quadratic function can be drawn as a parabola on a graph. Find out how to plot the graph in this Bitesize KS3 maths video.

Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms. An expression like “x + 4” is a polynomial. They can have ...

Plot of a quadratic equation showing the classic parabola, made with NumPy and Matplotlib. Linear equation 3x + 5 plotted with SymPy. Plot of a Quadratic Equation created in SymPy.

Quadratic equations are basic to algebra and are the math behind parabolas, projectiles, satellite dishes and the golden ratio.

The second equation is just a special case of the first, with a = 0.5g, b = v, x = t and c = h. Thus, projectile motion is modeled by a quadratic equation. Graph During the World Pyro Olympics ...
