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 name of the point that use to define a parabola?

i think its the vertex.


The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (5 -3). Which of the equations below could be the one for this parabolaus anything?

To determine the equation of a parabola with a vertex at the point (5, -3), we can use the vertex form of a parabola's equation: (y = a(x - h)^2 + k), where (h, k) is the vertex. Substituting in the vertex coordinates, we have (y = a(x - 5)^2 - 3). The value of "a" will determine the direction and width of the parabola, but any equation in this form with varying "a" values could represent the parabola.


Find the area S of the region bounded by the parabola y 5x2 the tangent line to this parabola at 2 20 and the x-axis?

First we need to find the equation of the tangent line to the parabola at (2, 20).Step 1. Take the derivative of the function of the parabola.Let f(x) = 5x^2f'(x) = 10xStep 2. Find the slope of the tangent line at x = 2. Evaluate f'(2).f'(2) = 2 x 10 = 20Step 3. Using the slope, m = 20, and the point (2, 20), find the equation of the tangent line at that point. Use the point-slope form of a line(y - y1) = m(x - x1)(y - 20) = 20(x - 2)y - 20 = 20x - 40 add 20 to both sidesy = 20x - 20Step 4. Find the points of intersections of y = 5x^2 and y = 20x - 205x^2 = 20x - 20 Divide by 5 to both sidesx^2 = 4x - 4 subtract 4x and add 4 to both sidesx^2 - 4x + 4 = 0 factor(x - 2)^2= 0x = 2Step 5. Find the intersection of the tangent line with x-axis.y = 20x - 20y = 020x - 20 = 0x = 1Since the vertex of the parabola is (0, 0) and the intersection of the tangent line with parabola is (2,20) we use the interval [0, 2] to fin the required area.Step 6. IntegrateA = ∫ [(5x^2)] dx, where the below boundary is 0, and the upper boundary is 2 minus A= ∫ (20x + 20)] dx from 1 to 2= 10/3


Do you use a line plot to order a data set?

no,you use a data when doing a vote. a line plot is for fractions or time line.

What careers use parabolas?

One career that might use a parabola is a mathematics teacher. Geometry teachers might also use parabolas. A parabola is a line consisting of points that are connected and spaced unilaterally.


Is there another not as common name for a parabola?

The parabola is a type of conic section, . The problem is that this is not a descriptive as the if the word "parabola" is used. The reason is that it is not the only geometric shape that can be derived by slicing a cone with a plane. Use the link below to see a drawing and learn more.


What is a parabola and quadratic?

A parabola is a line with one curve, that usually crosses the x-axis of a graph twice (unless the roots are imaginary). To find the roots, set y to zero and use the quadratic formula (-b±√b^2-4AC/2A)

Area bound by the straight line y equals x and the parabola y equals x2?

1st we find the intersection point of the straight line y=x & y=x^2, which are (0,0) & (1,1). after that we can use multiple integral with the 1st limit of y co-ordinate 0 to 1 & x limits x=y to x=square root(x). or simply we 1st calculate the area between the parabola & x-axis & the area between the straight line & x-axis in the interval 0 to 1. & after that we subtract the area of parabola by area of straight line.


How do you do a parabola?

A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.


How did Rene Descartes use the parabola?

Descartes used the parabola to illustrate algebraic equations. He put these equations on a visible plane using the Cartesian coordinate system and they sometimes took the shape of a "u" curve, or a parabola.
