A mathematical function is a formula that takes an input, x, applies a set of calculations to it, and produces an output called y. By calculating a function at a large number of set intervals, it is ...

All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

If \(f(x) = x^2\), then \(af(x) = a(x^2)\). This tells us that we need to multiply each of the \(y\) coordinates on the graph by \(a\) in order to stretch the original graph. Looking at some ...

Anyone who’s taken classes in geometry, algebra, trigonometry or other advanced math forms has certainly encountered the graphing calculator before. These multi-function devices make incredibly ...
