Quadratic formula quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Quadratic formula card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Other ways of ______ quadratic equations, such as completing the square, yield the same solutions.
Answer
solving. Other ways of solving quadratic equations, such as completing the square, yield the same solutions. From the Quadratic formula article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Quadratic formula. Quadratic formula 350,000 · Paul Otlet 7,900 · Auguste Forel 5,900 · Lynden Archer 1,300 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Other ways of solving quadratic equations, such as completing the square, yield the same solutions.
- Given a general quadratic equation of the form a x 2 + b x + c = 0 , with x representing an unknown, and coefficients a , b , and c representing known real or complex numbers with a ≠ 0 , the values of x satisfying the equation, called the roots or zeros, can be found using the quadratic formula, x = − b ± b 2 − 4 a c 2 a, where the plus–minus symbol " ± " indicates that…
- Written separately, these are: x 1 = − b + b 2 − 4 a c 2 a, x 2 = − b − b 2 − 4 a c 2 a. The quantity Δ = b 2 − 4 a c is known as the discriminant of the quadratic equation.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Quadratic formula article was read about 350,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Quadratic formula
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
