How the vertex relates to all the other points on the parabola?
y*y = 4ax
Where do you find the roots when looking at a parabola?
-- The roots of a quadratic equation are the values of 'x' that make y=0 . -- When you graph a quadratic equation, the graph is a parabola. -- The points on the parabola where y=0 are the points where it crosses the x-axis. -- If it doesn't cross the x-axis, then the roots are complex or pure imaginary, and you can't see them on a graph.
How many points are needed to determine a 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.
What is the definition of parabola?
There are several ways of defining a parabola. Here are some:Given a straight line and a point not on that line, a parabola is the locus of all points that are equidistant from that point (the focus) and the line (directrix).A parabola is the intersection of the surface of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to a generating line of that surface.A parabola is the graph of a quadratic equation.
How do you find points on a parabola to graph them?
Select a set of x values and find the value of y or f(x) - depending on how the parabola is defined. These are the values that you need to graph.
How do you draw a parabola on an equilateral triangle?
To graph a parabola you must find the axis of symmetry, determine the focal distance and write the focal as a point, and find the directrix. These are all the main points you need to be able to draw a parabola.
How the vertex relates to all the other points on the parabola?

What are the zeros of a parabola?
They are the x-values (if any) of the points at which the y-value of the equation representing a parabola is 0. These are the points at which the parabola crosses the x-axis.
How many vertices points and edges does a parabola have?
A parabola has one vertex (but not in the sense of an angle), infinitely many points and no edges.

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.

Can a circle touch a parabola at atmost 2 points?
Yes.
Is a parabola a line?
By the geometric definition of a line, it is represented by two points, and all points on the line are collinear, between or extrapolating to infinity from the straight line made by the two points. In other words, a line is straight, and can be represented by a binomial function (example: y=2x+1). A parabola is a function, but cannot be described mathematically as a line.
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.
How do you find the domain and range of a parabola?
The domain is any subset of the real numbers that you choose, The range is the set of all values that the points in the domain are mapped to.
