Interpreting the y-intercept of a graph in context | Algebra II | Khan Academy

Missed the previous lesson?

Algebra II on Khan Academy: Your studies in algebra 1 have built a solid foundation from which you can explore linear equations, inequalities, and functions. In algebra 2 we build upon that foundation and not only extend our knowledge of algebra 1, but slowly become capable of tackling the BIG questions of the universe. We'll again touch on systems of equations, inequalities, and functions...but we'll also address exponential and logarithmic functions, logarithms, imaginary and complex numbers, conic sections, and matrices. Don't let these big words intimidate you. We're on this journey with you!

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

Thats a real world example of balistics (trajectory) simplfied in a math function. Easy 9th grade stuff here in Germany.
Equation: y = - [g / (2 * v²) ] * x²
(with v being the start velocity v=0 and g the gravitational constant for earth; negative because of frame of reference, origin (0/0))

Can you do a video about different types of mathematical proofs and some tips/suggestions for completing proofs?

I think you mean "interpreting" -- the double-T form is archaic.

It’s called a hoop, not a goal, or a basket, just not a goal.

Im sorry, but what kind of math is this?
