AI Thread Summary
The discussion outlines the different forms of quadratic equations, specifically the vertex form and standard form. The vertex form is expressed as y = a(x-h)² + k, where (h,k) represents the vertex coordinates. The standard form is given by y = ax² + bx + c. Additionally, a link is provided for performing a quadratic regression using Desmos. Understanding these forms is essential for solving quadratic equations effectively.

b) vertex form of a quadratic equation is $y =a(x-h)^2 + k$ where $(h,k)$ are the vertex coordinates

c) standard form of a quadratic equation is $y = ax^2 + bx + c$

d) link on how to do a Desmos quadratic regression

that's about all the help I can offer since this looks like a graded assignment
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
