The minimum point is the minimum y value that the parabola reaches. The maximum point is the maximum y value that the parabola reaches. The symmetry of the parabola is created because each x value is ...

Mubasshir Murshed, fondly known as "Mub" by his friends, is a 17-year-old mathematics genius who has been given the rare honour, for someone of his age, of being published in a national academic ...

E-mail from listeners prompts two corrections: One about Latin confusion and the other about the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. MANY listeners wrote in to point out that the Arch is not a parabola, as we ...

First we need to complete the square to get the coordinates of the turning point. \(y = {x^2} + 2x + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} - 1 + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} + 2\) Therefore ...

Solutions to the simplest polynomial equations — called “roots of unity” — have an elegant structure that mathematicians still use to study some of math’s greatest open questions. If you’ve ever taken ...
