it's called the focus
This is a calculus question. You would need to use an integral.
A compass.
Gvim is a really difficult word to define. Some people define the word Gvim as a programmer text editors. Gvim is a great tool for people who like to write. A person can even use this tool to spell check.

No. In an ordered pair for a point in the xy-plane the first number is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate. (2, 5) is the point with an x-coordinate of 2 and a y-coordinate of 5; (5, 2) is the point with an x-coordinate of 5 and a y-coordinate of 2. Only if the x- and y- coordinates are equal are the points the same point. However, the point (5, 2) is the reflection of the point (2, 5) in the line y = x.
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.
i think its the vertex.
directrix
It is called the directrix.
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.
Yes.
First you need more details about the parabola. Then - if the parabola opens upward - you can assume that the lowest point of the triangle is at the vertex; write an equation for each of the lines in the equilateral triangle. These lines will slope upwards (or downwards) at an angle of 60°; you must convert that to a slope (using the tangent function). Once you have the equation of the lines and the parabola, solve them simultaneously to check at what points they cross. Finally you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length.

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.
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.
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.
A parabola is the curved path of a projectile is the result of constant motion horizontallt and accelerated motion vertically under the influrnce of gravity.
