Is a parabola a shape?
No, a shape is more technically referred to as a polygon. Some examples of polygons include squares and triangles. Polygons cannot have curved sides so therefore a parabola is not a polygon nor a shape. A parabola is a line, it extends in the direction it is going for infinity.
How do you find the endpoints of a parabola when you have the function of the line?
A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.
What type of equation results in a graph of a parabola?
A parabola looks like a frowning face :( or a smiling face :) The type of equation that would give you a parabola is called a Quadratic equation. Quadratic equations have x^2 as the highest exponent in the equation. ex: x squared + 2x + 1
Is a parabola the same as a parabolic curve?
