For a quadratic equation of the form \(y = k{(x - a)^2} + b\), the following diagram shows the main properties: If k > 0, the vertex is a minimum turning point If k < 0, the vertex is a maximum ...

where a, b, and c are numerical constants and c is not equal to zero. Note that if c were zero, the function would be linear. An advantage of this notation is that it can easily be generalized by ...

for elementary transcendental functions is presented in this paper to provide area efficiency as well as high performance for programmable vertex shader. From the architecture point of view, the ...
