Oh! The Quadratic Formula?
In the land of algebra, where equations reside, Lies a formula, a mathematician’s guide. For quadratics that curve in a parabolic flight, The quadratic formula brings answers to light. When equals zero, This formula steps in, like a hero: A beacon of hope, come what may. First, find , , and in your quest, CoefficientsContinue reading “Oh! The Quadratic Formula?”
Systems In Dependence
In the world of math, where lines intersect, Three types of systems we must detect. Each with its own unique solution space, Let’s explore them all with poetic grace. First, the independent system stands tall, One point of intersection, that’s all. Two lines cross at a single spot, A unique solution, tied in a knot.Continue reading “Systems In Dependence”
On Point Forms and Slope Formulae
In the realm of lines, with slopes and points, Two forms of equations, each anoints. Point-slope and slope-intercept, distinct they stand, Let’s explore their differences, hand in hand. First, the point-slope form, a guiding light, For lines through a point, it’s just right. It starts with a point, and a slope to align. is whereContinue reading “On Point Forms and Slope Formulae”
