A quadratic equation is an equation that has a second-degree term and no higher terms. A second-degree term is a variable raised to the second power‚ like x2. When you graph a quadratic equation‚ you get a parabola‚ and the solutions to the quadratic equation represent where the parabola crosses the x-axis. A quadratic equation can be written in the form: quadratic equation‚ where a‚ b‚ and c are numbers (a ≠0)‚ and x is the variable. x is a solution (or a root) if it satisfies the equation

are provided with a favourable‚ more suitable environment for their survival by human intervention. Ecosystems are constantly changing and developing in response to stress induced changes. In nature‚ change usually takes a long time to occur. The biome eventually adapts as animals and plants that have characteristics that aren’t suited to the occurring change eventually die out and those more suited to the change‚ remain alive and breed and pass their characteristics along to future generations.

between 8-15 different tree species per hectare. Unlike tropical forests‚ where individuals of a particular species are thinly scattered‚ there are usually many individuals of the primary tree species in a given area in eastern deciduous forests. This biome can receive between 50-150 cm of annual precipitation. Precipitation primarily comes in the form of snow throughout the winter months. Deciduous forests experience four distinct weather seasons including spring‚ summer‚ autumn‚ and winter. The average

SUMMER FARM –Norman MacCraig Straws like tame lightnings lie about the grass And hang zigzag on hedges. Green as glass The water in the horse-trough shines. Nine ducks go wobbling by in two straight lines. A hen stares at nothing with one eye‚ Then picks it up.
