QUADRATICALLY Meaning and Definition

1. Quadratically is an adverb that pertains to something being done in a quadratic manner or in relation to a quadratic equation or function. Quadratic refers to the mathematical concept of a quadratic equation or function, which is an equation or function of the second degree, represented by a polynomial with a highest exponent of two. Quadratic equations are typically written in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where “a,” “b,” and “c” are constants and “x” represents an unknown variable. They often represent parabolic curves or U-shaped graphs.

   When used as an adverb, quadratically describes an action or behavior that is related to quadratic equations or functions, or that follows quadratic principles or laws. It signifies a manner or process that resembles or aligns with the attributes of quadratic equations, such as the presence of a squared term or the formation of parabolic shapes.

   In a broader sense, quadratically can also describe an action or situation characterized by quadratic growth or dependence, where a variable increases or decreases at a non-linear rate that is proportional to its own square. This can refer to various phenomena across different fields, such as physics, economics, or computer science, where certain functions or relationships display quadratic behavior.

Etymology of QUADRATICALLY

The word "quadratically" is derived from the root word "quadratic", which in turn comes from the Latin word "quadratus", meaning "squared" or "made into a square". The Latin term "quadratus" originated from the verb "quadrare", meaning "to square" or "to make square". In mathematics, quadratic refers to anything related to quadratic equations or expressions, which often involve terms involving squares or second powers of variables. By adding the suffix "-ly", which denotes manner or quality, the adjective quadratic is transformed into the adverb "quadratically", describing something done in a manner related to quadratic equations.
