What else can I help you with?
What is the point of which a parabola intersects the axis of symmetry called?
if it opens up then the point is called the minimum if it opens down its called the maximum
What are horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry?
A line which divides a body into two parts, such that each part is the mirror image of the others, then the line is called a line of symmetry. If such a line is parallel to the horizontal plane, then it is called a horizontal line of symmetry. Else, if the line of symmetry is perpendicular to the horizontal plane then it is a vertical line of symmetry.
What is the shape of the graph of a quadratic equation called?
A parabola.
What is half of parabola?
A curve. It would be called a parabolic curve.
If the parabola opens upward the vertex is called?
maximum point :)
What is The vertical line passing through the vertex of parabola is called?
The vertical line passing through the vertex of a parabola is called the axis of symmetry. It divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves and is perpendicular to the directrix. The equation of this line can be represented by the x-coordinate of the vertex in the case of a vertically oriented parabola.
What is the vertical line containing the vertex of a parabola called?
The vertical line containing the vertex of a parabola is called the axis of symmetry. This line is perpendicular to the directrix and divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves. For a parabola defined by the equation (y = ax^2 + bx + c), the axis of symmetry can be found using the formula (x = -\frac{b}{2a}).
What are the properties of parabola?
A parabola is a symmetrical curve defined as the set of all points equidistant from a fixed point called the focus and a fixed line called the directrix. It opens either upwards or downwards for vertical parabolas, and left or right for horizontal ones. The vertex is the point where the parabola changes direction, and the axis of symmetry is a line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves. Additionally, parabolas have a quadratic equation in the form (y = ax^2 + bx + c) for vertical orientation.
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
When a quadratic function is graphed what is the name of the shape formed?
When a quadratic function is graphed, the shape formed is called a parabola. This U-shaped curve can open either upwards or downwards, depending on the coefficient of the quadratic term. The vertex of the parabola represents the highest or lowest point of the graph, and the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
What is the point of which a parabola intersects the axis of symmetry called?
if it opens up then the point is called the minimum if it opens down its called the maximum
What are horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry?
A line which divides a body into two parts, such that each part is the mirror image of the others, then the line is called a line of symmetry. If such a line is parallel to the horizontal plane, then it is called a horizontal line of symmetry. Else, if the line of symmetry is perpendicular to the horizontal plane then it is a vertical line of symmetry.
How many foci does a parabola have?
A parabola has a single focus point. There is a line running perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola called the directrix. A line running from the focus to a point on the parabola is going to have the same distance as from the point on the parabola to the closest point of the directrix. In theory you could look at a parabola as being an ellipse with one focus at infinity, but that really doesn't help any. ■
What does a parabola solution look like on a graph?
A parabola solution on a graph appears as a symmetrical U-shaped curve. It can open either upward or downward, depending on the coefficient of the squared term in its equation (e.g., (y = ax^2 + bx + c)). The highest or lowest point of the parabola is called the vertex, and the axis of symmetry runs vertically through this point. The shape is defined by how wide or narrow it is, which is influenced by the value of (a).
What is a vertical section through all of the soil horizon is called?
A vertical section through all of the soil horizons is called a soil profile.
What is a rotation of symmetry?
Sometimes called rotation symmetry, or symmetry of rotation. If you have an object that can be turned through a certain angle (like rotating a cube through 90o) and then it looks identical, then that object has a certain symmetry under rotation. If you can turn it through any angle, like a cylinder, then it has rotation (or rotational) symmetry.
What is the combination of horizontal motion with constant velocity and vertical motion with constant acceleration?
The combination results in projectile motion. In this type of motion, the object moves in a curved path, known as a parabola, due to the simultaneous effects of horizontal motion with constant velocity and vertical motion with constant acceleration (usually due to gravity). The object follows a curved trajectory as it moves through the air.
