What happens to the shape of a parabola as the distance between the vertex of the curve and the focus becomes very large?

The parabola shape is magnified. If you keep the same scale for the graph, the parabola will look wider, more flattened out.

What is the general shape of a graph of a quadratic function in the form yax2 c?
y = ax2 + c is a parabola, c is the y intercept of the parabola. It also happens to be the max/min of the function depending if a is positive or negative.
What happens when you decrease the distance between two foci?
The answer depends on whether they are the foci of an ellipse or a hyperbola.
What happens when you multiply by a number between 0 and 1?
The number becomes smaller unless it is a negative number or zero (0).
What happens to a rational number when it is multiplied by an integer between negative one and zero?
All numbers between negative one and zero are negative. When you multiply a number by a negative it becomes negative. Also, all numbers between negative one and zero are decimals. When you multiply a number by a decimal it becomes smaller. Thus, when you multiply a rational number by a number between negative one and zero, it becomes smaller and negative.
What happens when you increase the distance between two foci?
-- If they're the foci of a single optical system, then the result can't be stated in general.It depends on the curvatures and relative position of the lenses.-- If they're both the foci of the same ellipse, then the ellipse becomes more eccentric.That is, more squashed and less circular.-- If they're the foci of two parabolas, then there's no relationship between them, andnothing in particular depends on the distance between them.The answer depends on whether they are the foci of an ellipse or a hyperbola.
What happens if the distance between two objects is reduced to half?
The gravitational force becomes 4 times stronger than it was before the objects moved closer.
What happens to the force of gravity of the distance increases?
At greater distances, the force of gravity becomes less.
What happens to the electric force when two objects are separated by 1 meter and each has a positive charge when the distance between the objects is halved?
The electric force becomes four times stronger.
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
What happens to the distance between the spinous processes during flexion of the spine?
During flexion, the distance between the spinous processes is increased.
What happens to the gravitational force between two object as the bodies become closer to each other?
The force increases. Each time the distance decreases by half, the force becomes 4 times greater.
The force of gravitation between two objects is 500 Newtons what would be the force of gravitaion if the distance between these two objects increased by 10 times?
If the gravitational force decreases according to the square of the distance, then if the distance is doubled the force becomes one forth of what it was. So if you doubled the the distance between the two objects then they would have a gravitational force of 125 Newtons. That happens because 2 squared is 4 and 500 divided by 4 is 125.
What happens to the distance between latitudes or parallels as you approach the pole?
Nothing.
What happens to the gravitational force between two objects as the distance between them is quadrupled?
Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distancebetween the objects.1/42 = 1/16The force becomes 1/16 of what it was originally. That's 93.75% less.
What happens to the gravitational force between two objectes if the distance between them is increased?
the gravitational force between them decreases.
What happens if the imbalance between protons and neutrons becomes too great?
The atom is unstable.
What happens to the force of attraction as distance grows between magnetic forces?
the force of attraction get weaker the more the distance grows between magnetic fields
