Fiber Fables: Quadratic Formulations
Quadratic Formulations
This is an explanation of how to get “out of the box,” so to speak, if you happen to be confined in a space bound by four walls.
Quad, of course, means four, but your escape will involve a curve with unknown end points. You will know your escape curve is ripe, when it exhibits a firm root system.
First, count the number of windows, doors, and colors in your space. In the absence of humility, generosity, and patience, these will be your known values “a,” “b,” and “c.”
To discriminate among false and real solutions to your dilemma, you may wish to complete the square and/or inspect your factors by surrendering your identity according to the algorithm of Vieta.
As you approach proof of a viable escape, you will note a proliferation of variables, including the alternative derivatives of “x,” the renowned known unknown. Do not be distracted by this or by the parabola of the naked woman jumping off a cliff.
When you master the curve of escape, you will hear a symphonic rendering of complex coefficients accompanied by the dance of imaginary numbers.
