What is the extreme point of a parabola?
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 vertex is the extreme point of a parabola and is located halfway between the and directrix?
focus
What is the name of the point you use to define a parabola?
All of the points on a parabola define a parabola. However, the vertex is the point in which the y value is only used for one point on the parabola.
What is the directrix of a parabola?
"From the geometric point of view, the given point is the focus of the parabola and the given line is its directrix. It can be shown that the line of symmetry of the parabola is the line perpendicular to the directrix through the focus. The vertex of the parabola is the point of the parabola that is closest to both the focus and directrix."-http://www.personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Algorithms/MyAlgorithms/parabola.htm"A line perpendicular to the axis of symmetry used in the definition of a parabola. A parabola is defined as follows: For a given point, called the focus, and a given line not through the focus, called the directrix, a parabola is the locus, or set of points, such that the distance to the focus equals the distance to the directrix."-http://www.mathwords.com/d/directrix_parabola.htm
What is another name for a turning point in a parabola?
Vertex
On a parabola the extreme point which is the highest lowest or farthest point left or right is called a...?
The extreme point is called a vertex.
What is the extreme point of a parabola that is located halfway between the focus and directrix called?
It is the vertex of the parabola.
The is the extreme point of a parabola and is located halfway between the focus and directrix.?
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 is the extreme point of a parabola and is located halfway between the focus and directrix?
The vertex -- the closest point on the parabola to the directrix.
What is the extreme point of a parabola?
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.
What is the extreme point on a parabola?
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
What is the extreme point called on a parabola?
The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.
The vertex is the extreme point of a parabola and is located halfway between the and directrix?
focus
How many foci does a parabola have?
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. ■
What is the extreme point of the parabola?
It is either a maximum or minimum value depending on its downwards shape or its upwards shape
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.
If the parabola opens downward the vertex is called the?
The maximum point.
