Chapter 6: Quadratic Relations

Chapter 6 serves as an introduction to a new type of relation, quadratics.  Unlike linear relations, x is squared.  Quadratic relations are frequently used to maximize or minimize desired results (maximize profit or minimize wind resistance) or to model the motion of objects in the air.
