/*
Given a quadratic q, t1, and t2, find a small quadratic segment.

The new quadratic is defined by A, B, and C, where
 A = c[0]*(1 - t1)*(1 - t1) + 2*c[1]*t1*(1 - t1) + c[2]*t1*t1
 C = c[3]*(1 - t1)*(1 - t1) + 2*c[2]*t1*(1 - t1) + c[1]*t1*t1

To find B, compute the point halfway between t1 and t2:

q(at (t1 + t2)/2) == D

Next, compute where D must be if we know the value of B:

_12 = A/2 + B/2
12_ = B/2 + C/2
123 = A/4 + B/2 + C/4
    = D

Group the known values on one side:

B   = D*2 - A/2 - C/2
