What is the square root of a parabola?
A parabola is a 2-dimensional shape. A square root is a function whose arguments are numbers. The question does not make sense.
Does a parabola always have roots and a vertex?
Yes, a parabola always has a vertex. However, it may not always have roots. The roots of a parabola are the x-values where the parabola intersects the x-axis. It is possible for a parabola to have two, one, or no roots depending on the discriminant of the quadratic equation.
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 a parabola that opens to the right called?
It is a square root mapping. This is not a function since it is a one-to-many mapping.

Can Polynomials with the same roots can have different graphs.?
If you only look at the value of the roots and not their multiplicity then the answer is yes.The straight line y = x - 1 and the parabola y = (x - 1)^2 have the same root: x = 1. But the graphs are obviously different. All polynomials of the form y = (x - 1)^n will have x = 1 as the only root but they will have different shapes. The reason to this is that in the case of the straight line it is a root of multiplicity 1, in the case of a parabola it is a root of multiplicity 2 and in the case of y = (x - 1)^n it is a root of multiplicity n.

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
Why does every number has two square root?
You mean, (+/-) sqrt(16) = 4 because - 42 = 16 and + 42 = 16 This graph would be a parabola.
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.
What is the parabola effect?
what are the effects of the sign a and n to the parabola
Can there be multiple y-interecepts?
Yes. think of a parabola that curves around the y-axis. an equation like x = square root of (y2 - 9) simply switch the x's and y's in the equation and your parabola opens up around the y-axis and the x-axis respectively
