The parabola shape is magnified. If you keep the same scale for the graph, the parabola will look wider, more flattened out.
become wider
just put x^2=y or (x^2)/y on the calculator, and then it makes a simple parabola.
A parabola is a 2-dimensional shape. A square root is a function whose arguments are numbers. The question does not make sense.
A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.
quadratics are used for things like satellite dishes... there are more uses but that's only a basic one =) we are doing a project in math that requires quadratic equations. we make a parabola and put aluminum (or any other reflector) inside the parabola. we make a stick to put in the middle of the parabola to make a focus. we put the marshmellow on the focus and put the parabola in the sunlight. If done right then the marshmellow should heat up! cool huh?
a stream gets wider when it gets older and the water erodes the bed of the river to make it wider
No. If you tilt a parabola, you will still have a parabolic curve but it will no longer be a parabola.
A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
The graph of a quadratic equation has the shape of a parabola.
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
what are the effects of the sign a and n to the parabola
