The extreme point is called a vertex.
The extreme point is called a vertex.
It is the vertex of the parabola.
This extreme point on the parabola is called the vertex. In math. a parabola is a U-shaped curve with a directrix, which is a fixed straight line.
The vertex -- the closest point on the parabola to the directrix.
The extreme point it the highest or lowest point of the parabola (depending if it is concave downwards or upwards). It is the point of the parabola tat is closest to the focus. the extreme point lies on the axis of symmetry.
The highest or lowest point of the parabola, it is the point that is closest to the focus. The extreme point lies on the axis of symmetry
focus
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. ■
It is either a maximum or minimum value depending on its downwards shape or its upwards shape
A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
The maximum point.
