what is the name of like this equation's in english (m-1)x^2+2x+1=0 for example is it the median or no ?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Provided m is constant, we call it a Quadratic Equation. And what do you mean by "is it the median or no ?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no i want m variable what we call it ?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Am not too sure then. @amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmm, im not too sure what we would call it. Median doesnt sound right to me unless this is part of a specific question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We are arabic we call m the (الوسيط) whene i am translated it to english gave me (median)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

m looks to generally be an unknown variable to be determined at a later time

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my guess is that your equation has 2 independant variables. m and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the real variable is x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

most applicable functions rely on more than one variable. if your post refers to a more specific problem where they are using "m" in place of a median, then that sounds plausible but other than that there is no "name" that we assign to it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok thank you very much shubhamsrg, amistre64 ok as result there is no name for this type of equation's

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the equation itself is a quadratic equation; but what to call that "m" is a mystery.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

might need a better translator :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok but it is google translator the best :)
