Mathematic Nodes – Parabolic

DESCRIPTION


This utility can solve general form of 2nd degree Polynomial equation, including finding possible roots, delta and vertex of the equation.

f(x) = ax2 + bx + c , where a=! 0;

The graph of this quadratic function is Parabola whose major axis is parallel to the y-axis. note, if the equation doesn’t have roots, for sake of compatibility it will return Zero for roots.

ATTRIBUTE

Name: inputA (a)
Type: float
Default: 0.0
Note: The inputA value

Name: inputB (b)
Type: float
Default: 0.0
Note: The inputB value

Name: inputC (c)
Type: float
Default: 0.0
Note: The inputC value

Name: outRoot1 (r1)
Type: float
Default: 0.0
Note: Returns the first root of equation.

Name: outRoot2 (r2)
Type: float
Default: 0.0
Note: Returns the second root of equation.

Name: delta (d)
Type: float
Default: 0.0
Note: Returns delta of equation. (delta = b2 -4ac)

Name: vertex (vx)
Type: compound float2
Default: 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
Note: Return the vertex point of equation. The vertex of a parabola is the place where it turns, hence, it’s also called the turning point.
