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 \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 34, No. 1 (Jan., 1978), pp. 176-197 (22 pages) We consider a graph-theoretic elimination process which models Gaussian elimination on sparse systems of linear ...
