Carlyle circles can be used to solve quadratic formulas of the form
Move point B to change the quadratic equation. The solutions are the x-intercepts of the circle.
Can you prove that by constructing a circle with endpoints of a diameter at A(0, 1) and B(s, p), the x-intercepts are solutions to the quadratic equation?
