Welcome to Parabole, a fun and challenging daily web game where players must deduce the coefficients of a quadratic equation! Every day, a new random quadratic function of the form
- Each day, you're presented with a graph of a quadratic function.
- Make your first guess for the coefficients
$a$ ,$b$ , and$c$ . - Receive feedback on how close you are to the correct coefficients.
- Continue guessing until you find the exact values!
A quadratic function is a polynomial of degree 2, represented as:
-
$a$ controls the parabola's openness and direction. -
$b$ shifts the parabola horizontally. -
$c$ moves the parabola up or down vertically.
The challenge is to decode how these parameters shape the curve and find the right coefficients!
- Daily Challenge: A new quadratic function every day!
- Graph Visualization: Visual feedback with a plotted graph to aid your guesses.
- Hint System: Get hints based on the difference between your guess and the actual values.
- Result Tracking: Keep track of your wins and share them with friends!
