~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What is a quadratic?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A quadratic is a type of function that is in the shape of a smile or a frown. It is also known as a parabola. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What does this project do?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This project finds the x intercepts of the quadratic, where it hits the x axis (the horizontal axis) and the y value is 0. It then graphs the parabola, scaling it up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What is ax^2+bx+c?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is how quadratics are written. A is the quadratic term, b is the linear term, and c is the constant. These are unknowns. To make a quadratic, you would sub in those letters (but not x) with numbers, such as 2x^2+3x+4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~How does it do this?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It uses completing the square (look it up). In the last sprite are a few notes explaining how I converted CTS to scratch. Have fun! (also if you are using this to help you with homework good luck :D)
whoops i messed up the thumbnail its supposed to be ax^2+bx+c, not ax^2+bx+c. Tell me whenever there is a bug or incorrect answer. The song is Romos- Magic Touch, and the coding is all mine, even the text engine. Notes: -If you want to do this faster, go into the last sprite and type it into the custom block. -If you want an explanation of how the script does it using completing the square, look it up and there is an explanation of how the project converts it also in the last sprite. -The graph scales the quadratic up by 10, so it is large enough to see. -If you put A as 0, it will be a line. -Post 'chicken' if you're actually reading this. -There are actually three ways to do this, but this is the easiest way to do it here. I could also the the quadratic formula (look it up.) -This wasn't actually a school project or anything, I was just bored. -Geometry dash is a great game, try it out. -I might add more to this if people want me to (i.e.) a vertex finder) -I have another project like this, the Pythagorean theorem solver. -You learn this in 9th grade Algebra one, but I was bumped up three years in math so I took it in 6th grade. -Good job actually reading the notes. You get a gold star because it took me a while to write all of this. Thanks. -There are 6 'hi's hidden inside the project, can you find all of them? -The actual solving script only takes four variables, a, b, c, and n. N is just a placeholder. -I have nothing else to say -dank me mes
