    Figure 4. Graphing calculator computation of one of the two roots of the quadratic equation 2x 2 + 4x − 4 = 0. Although the display shows only five significant figures of accuracy, the retrieved value of xc is 0.732050807569, accurate to twelve significant figures. A quadratic function without real root: y = (x − 5) 2 + 9.

  3. Gaussian quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_quadrature

    As the integrand is the third-degree polynomial y(x) = 7x 3 – 8x 2 – 3x + 3, the 2-point Gaussian quadrature rule even returns an exact result. In numerical analysis , an n -point Gaussian quadrature rule , named after Carl Friedrich Gauss , [ 1 ] is a quadrature rule constructed to yield an exact result for polynomials of degree 2 n − 1 ...

  4. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

    It is assumed that the value of a function f defined on [,] is known at + equally spaced points: < < <.There are two classes of Newton–Cotes quadrature: they are called "closed" when = and =, i.e. they use the function values at the interval endpoints, and "open" when > and <, i.e. they do not use the function values at the endpoints.

  6. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

    The quadratic equation on a number can be solved using the well-known quadratic formula, which can be derived by completing the square. That formula always gives the roots of the quadratic equation, but the solutions are expressed in a form that often involves a quadratic irrational number, which is an algebraic fraction that can be evaluated ...

  7. Gauss composition law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_composition_law

    In mathematics, in number theory, Gauss composition law is a rule, invented by Carl Friedrich Gauss, for performing a binary operation on integral binary quadratic forms (IBQFs). Gauss presented this rule in his Disquisitiones Arithmeticae , [ 1 ] a textbook on number theory published in 1801, in Articles 234 - 244.

    Therefore, the graph of the function f(x − h) = (x − h) 2 is a parabola shifted to the right by h whose vertex is at (h, 0), as shown in the top figure. In contrast, the graph of the function f(x) + k = x 2 + k is a parabola shifted upward by k whose vertex is at (0, k), as shown in the center figure.
