History

Which precision improvement occurred when astrolabe makers used quadratic solutions?

A)Solves cubic equations accurately
B)Angles calculated for complex curves
C)Star altitude precisely measured
D)Equinox timing calculations made easier

💡 Explanation

Solving quadratic equations allowed extremely accurate angular star positions because measurements were resolved precisely using algebraic manipulation of data rather than geometric approximation; therefore increased precision occurred, rather than easier calculation or solutions for more complex equations.
