On a parabola the extreme point is called a?
The extreme point is called a vertex.
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

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.
