What are the similarities between parabola and catenary?
The Catenary and Parabola are different curves that look similar; they are both "U" shaped and symmetrical, increasing infinitely on both sides to a minimum.
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.
What is the parabola effect?
what are the effects of the sign a and n to the parabola
What is the meaning of parabola?
A parabola is a curved shape that is plotted on the Cartesian plane.
Parts of a parabola?
There's the vertex (turning point), axis of symmetry, the roots, the maximum or minimum, and of course the parabola which is the curve.
The graph of a cubic is called a parabola?
No. Parabola and the cubic graph are definitely two different things.
Are the directrix and focus different distances from a given point on a parabola?
One definition of a parabola is the set of points that are equidistant from a given line called the directrix and a given point called the focus. So, no. The distances are not different, they are the same. The distance between the directrix and a given point on the parabola will always be the same as the distance between that same point on the parabola and the focus. Any point where those two distances are equal would be on the parabola somewhere and all the points where those two distances are different would not be on the parabola. Note that the distance from a point to the directrix is definied as the perpendicular distance (also known as the minimum distance).

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.
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.
The directrix and focus are different distances from a given point on the parabola. A. True B. False?
FALSE. One of the definitions of a parabola, and also a means of drawing it, is that EVERY point on it is equidistant from the focus and the directrix.

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.
