A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.

Parabola is the point at which the parabola is at its lowest or highest point?
A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
Where is the line of symmety located on a parabola?
The line of symmetry located on a parabola is right down the center. A parabola is a U shape. Depending on the direction of the parabola it either has a x axis of symmetry or y axis of symmetry. You should have two equal sides of the parabola.
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the of the vertex?
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the right of the vertex.
How many foci does a parabola have?
A parabola has a single focus point. There is a line running perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola called the directrix. A line running from the focus to a point on the parabola is going to have the same distance as from the point on the parabola to the closest point of the directrix. In theory you could look at a parabola as being an ellipse with one focus at infinity, but that really doesn't help any. ■
What the the vertex of a parabola?
The vertex would be the point where both sides of the parabola meet.
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.
Is a parabola the same as a parabolic curve?
No. If you tilt a parabola, you will still have a parabolic curve but it will no longer be a parabola.

A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
What curved path traveled by a thrown baseball is known as?
projectile motion
The maximum or minimum of a parabola depending on whether the parabola opens up or down?
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
What is the parabola effect?
what are the effects of the sign a and n to the parabola
What is the diameter of a parabola?
It is the bisector of any 2 parallel chords drawn to the parabola. It is always parallel to the axis of the parabola.
What is the name of the point you use to define a parabola?
All of the points on a parabola define a parabola. However, the vertex is the point in which the y value is only used for one point on the parabola.
When was Parabola - song - created?
Parabola - song - was created in 2001.
What is the midpoint of the parabola between the focus and the directrix?
It is the apex of the parabola.
Where is the line of symmety located on a parabola?
The line of symmetry located on a parabola is right down the center. A parabola is a U shape. Depending on the direction of the parabola it either has a x axis of symmetry or y axis of symmetry. You should have two equal sides of the parabola.
Does a parabola have to have an x-intercept?
No, a parabola does not have to have an x-intercept. ex. -2(x-2)^2 - 4 is a parabola that has no x-intercept.
