The parabola shape is magnified. If you keep the same scale for the graph, the parabola will look wider, more flattened out.
become wider
just put x^2=y or (x^2)/y on the calculator, and then it makes a simple parabola.
A parabola is a 2-dimensional shape. A square root is a function whose arguments are numbers. The question does not make sense.

a stream gets wider when it gets older and the water erodes the bed of the river to make it wider
quadratics are used for things like satellite dishes... there are more uses but that's only a basic one =) we are doing a project in math that requires quadratic equations. we make a parabola and put aluminum (or any other reflector) inside the parabola. we make a stick to put in the middle of the parabola to make a focus. we put the marshmellow on the focus and put the parabola in the sunlight. If done right then the marshmellow should heat up! cool huh?
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.

The graph of a quadratic equation has the shape of a parabola.
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
