SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using WolframAlpha to solve the equation $h(v-t) = h(v+t)$, where $h(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$. The goal is to determine the vertex of the quadratic function for given constants $a$, $b$, and $c$. Participants confirm that WolframAlpha can effectively solve this equation for any value of $t$, aiding students in understanding quadratic functions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quadratic functions and their properties
  • Familiarity with the vertex form of a quadratic equation
  • Basic knowledge of using WolframAlpha for mathematical computations
  • Ability to manipulate algebraic expressions
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore how to use WolframAlpha for solving quadratic equations
  • Learn about the vertex form of quadratic functions
  • Study the implications of changing coefficients $a$, $b$, and $c$ on the graph of a quadratic function
  • Investigate other mathematical tools for solving equations, such as Desmos or GeoGebra
USEFUL FOR

Students learning algebra, educators teaching quadratic functions, and anyone interested in utilizing computational tools like WolframAlpha for solving mathematical problems.

Hello,

I want wolfarmalpha solve this $h(v-t) = h(v+t)$ for $v$ where $h(x) = ax^2 +bx +c $. It is the vertex I want the students to figure out the vertex of the quadratic function. If $a,b $ and $c$ are numbers wolfarmalpha can solve that for any $t$.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Okay thanks again (Yes)
 
Wolfarmalpha? Is that a farm where they raise wolves?
