The equation of the â axis of symmetry â is â x = 1 .â The graph has a highest point, or â maximum point ,â at (1, 4). 10. In general, a parabola will open upward and have a â minimum â point when the coefficients of â y â and â x 2 â have the same sign.n general, the equation of the â axis of symmetry for the graph of a âquadraticâ function can be found by using the following rule 13. Example: Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the maximum or minimum point of the graph of y =x 2 â x â 6.
Autodidact Polymath Definition. Autodidact: A self-taught person. [From Greek autodidaktos, self- taught : auto-, auto- + didaktos, taught. Polymath: A polymath (Greek polymatheÌs, âhaving learned muchâ) is a person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas. The Goal: To provide the foundational tools that aid on the journey of becoming a renaissance man.
A renaissance man or polymath is a person who is skilled in multiple fields or multiple disciplines, and who has a broad base of knowledge. The term renaissance man is largely based on the various artists and scholars of the European Renaissance, (starting in about 1450 CE), who pursued multiple fields of studies. Perhaps the quintessential renaissance man of this period was Leonardo Da Vinci, who was a master of art, an engineer, an anatomy expert (for the time), and also pursued many other disciplines with great success and aplomb. The term polymath predates renaissance man and is from the Greek polymathes.
