In mathematics, the tangent line to a curve at a point is a straight line that touches the curve at this point only. The tangent line can provide valuable insights into the properties of the curve, ...

The straight line through two points will have an equation in the form \(y = mx + c\). Then, we can find the value of \(c\), the \(y\)-intercept, by substituting the coordinates of one point into the ...

The Mathematical Gazette is the original journal of the Mathematical Association and it is now over a century old. Its readership is a mixture of school teachers, college and university lecturers, ...

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 \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

Abstract: In the frame of the parabola-based sag-tension calculation for overhead line design, the necessary data for the derivation of the equation of the conductor curve in a span are the maximum ...
