What is minimum point?

This is the coordinate of the vertex for a parabola that opens up, defined by a positive value of x^2.


Inverse function of a negative parabola?

Depending on the domain and range, the inverse may or may not be defined. Assuming it is defined, the inverse function can be derived as follows: The negative parabola is y = -ax2 + bx + c (where a>0) so that -ax2 + bx + c - y = 0 using the quadratic formula, x = [-b ± sqrt(b2 + 4*a*(c-y)]/(-2a) which is a square root function, and will be real provided that b2 + 4*a*(c-y) > 0


How do you find points on a parabola to graph them?

Select a set of x values and find the value of y or f(x) - depending on how the parabola is defined. These are the values that you need to graph.


Why the graph of a function never has 2 different points with the same x- coordinate because?

It is because a function is defined as a relation which cannot be one-to-many.


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 the number of turning points in the graph of the function of x defined below y 2x2 5x - 7?

The following problem is a parabola so there is only one turning points so the answer is going to be: 2


Why is every point on a parabola equidistant to the focus and the directrix?

Because that is how a parabola is defined!


How can solve the effect of a and q in a parabola?

In a parabola defined by the equation ( y = ax^2 + q ), the parameter ( a ) determines the direction and width of the parabola, while ( q ) represents the vertical shift. To solve the effect of ( a ), consider its value: if ( a > 0 ), the parabola opens upward and is narrower as ( |a| ) increases; if ( a < 0 ), it opens downward and becomes wider as ( |a| ) decreases. The parameter ( q ) shifts the entire parabola up or down by ( q ) units without altering its shape. Adjusting these parameters allows for a comprehensive understanding of the parabola's position and orientation in the coordinate plane.

What is a reflection of a parabola?

The answer depends on the axis of reflection which has not been defined.


Inverse function of a negative parabola?

Depending on the domain and range, the inverse may or may not be defined. Assuming it is defined, the inverse function can be derived as follows: The negative parabola is y = -ax2 + bx + c (where a>0) so that -ax2 + bx + c - y = 0 using the quadratic formula, x = [-b ± sqrt(b2 + 4*a*(c-y)]/(-2a) which is a square root function, and will be real provided that b2 + 4*a*(c-y) > 0


What is the trajectory of a projectile defined by?

Ignoring air resistance, it would be a parabola.


Why is the domain of a parabola unlimited?

The domain of a parabola is unlimited because it can extend infinitely in both the left and right directions along the x-axis. A parabola is defined by a quadratic function, which can take any real number input for x, resulting in a corresponding y-value. Since there are no restrictions on the x-values that can be plugged into a quadratic equation, the domain is all real numbers.


A parabola is defined as all points equidistant from a given directrix and focus.?

true


What is the difference between the world coordinate system and a user-defined coordinate system?

A world coordinate system is generally used by gorrilas or pandas in the middle east. A user-defined coordinate system only works for gypsies or pikey scum.


Why do slope denoteb by tangent function?

The slope of a line and the tangent of the angle between the positive x-axis and the line are related because the tangent of the angle is defined as the ratio of the y-coordinate and the x-coordinate of some point on the line.
