@terenzreignz is better than that guy solomon. >v>
Please refrain from hate-speech XD Oh, and you can close this question now...
~plays dumb blonde~ Oh my. Please help! I need help with quadratic models, quadratics, completing the square, and quadratics and the quadratics formula. Please, oh please help! ;)
So... let's start with completing the square?
Um, yeah. >v> I prefer to start with quadratic models, though. ;)
What the heck are those? You have an example?
Um...I think those are parabolas. >v>
Oh... graphing, are we? Okay then... can you give me an example of an equation to graph?
f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8
Okay awesome. f(x) = (x+4)(x+2) #SoNotBadAtFactoring Anyway, when graphing, it will help to first identify what's called the 'vertex' Heard of it?
The lowest or highest point of a parabola is called the vertex.
The tip, as I like to call it. It's basically a point, right? Do you know how to find it?
\[x=\frac{ -b }{ 2a }\]
brb. >v>
So you DO know how to find it, find the bloody vertex, then, and tell me what you get
Oi... as you know, it IS late now, so I really have to get some sleep... sorry, maybe next time :/
Sorry 'bout that. I had to change computers and then I saw this really easy math question someone was asking and I was tempted. >v>
x = -3
