Remarks

Use a Quadratic to describe a quadratic relationship between two quantities. It inherits from Polynomial and provides specialized implementation for most methods.

A quadratic curve can be defined in many ways. The Quadratic constructor is overloaded to reflect this.

A Quadratic curve has three parameters, corresponding to the constant, linear, and quadratic components.

The ValueAt(Double) method returns the value of the curve at a specific point. SlopeAt(Double) returns the slope of the Quadratic. Integral(Double, Double) evaluates the definite integral over a specified interval.
