Characteristics of Quadratic Curves

Hi Students of 2E4,

You can ask me anything about quadratic equations! This is the first non-linear curves that you have learnt in learning mathematics.

Do you know that quadratic curves are all symmetrical about a vertical line x = k, where k is a constant (number).

To plot a quadratic curve, you need to choose an appropriate range of values for x in such a way that the maximum or minimum value of y is included in the plot.

You need a minimum of 5 points in order to plot a smooth curve.

Why not tell me you difficulty in learning this topic?
