It depends on where points h and k are, in which parabola. Since you have chosen not to share that information, there cannot be any sensible answer to this question.

Find equation what parabola its vertex is 0 0 and it passes through point 2 12 express the equation in standard form?

Y=3x^2 and this is in standard form. The vertex form of a prabola is y= a(x-h)2+k The vertex is at (0,0) so we have y=a(x)^2 it goes throug (2,12) so 12=a(2^2)=4a and a=3. Now the parabola is y=3x^2. Check this: It has vertex at (0,0) and the point (2,12) is on the parabola since 12=3x2^2


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 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.


How do you get a parabola with only one x intercept?

To have a parabola with only one x-intercept, the vertex of the parabola must lie on the x-axis. This means the parabola opens either upwards or downwards, depending on the coefficient of the squared term in the equation. If the coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and if it is negative, the parabola opens downwards. By adjusting the coefficients in the equation of the parabola, you can position the vertex such that there is only one x-intercept.


Does a sideways parabola represent a function?

No, it does not. You can tell if something is a function or not by using the vertical line test. If there is more than one point at any vertical line, it is not a function.

How do you find the y intercept when given a parabola in standard form?

At any point on the y-axis, the x-coordinate is zero. In the equation of the parabola, set x=0. Tidy it up, and you have " Y = the y-intercept ".

What is the definition of parabola?

There are several ways of defining a parabola. Here are some:Given a straight line and a point not on that line, a parabola is the locus of all points that are equidistant from that point (the focus) and the line (directrix).A parabola is the intersection of the surface of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to a generating line of that surface.A parabola is the graph of a quadratic equation.

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 is the parabola equation?

the equation of a parabola is: y = a(x-h)^2 + k *h and k are the x and y intercepts of the vertex respectively * x and y are the coordinates of a known point the curve passes though * solve for a, then plug that a value back into the equation of the parabola with out the coordinates of the known point so the equation of the curve with the vertex at (0,3) passing through the point (9,0) would be.. 0 = a (9-0)^2 + 3 = 0 = a (81) + 3 = -3/81 = a so the equation for the curve would be y = -(3/81)x^2 + 3
