What are the similarities between parabola and catenary?
The Catenary and Parabola are different curves that look similar; they are both "U" shaped and symmetrical, increasing infinitely on both sides to a minimum.
Does a parabola always have roots and a vertex?
An x2 parabola will always have one vertex, but depending on the discriminant of the function (b2-4ac) the parabola will either have 2 roots (it crosses the x-axis twice), 1 repeating root (the parabola meets the x-axis at a single point), or no real roots (the parabola doesn't meet the x-axis at all)
How do you find the endpoints of a parabola when you have the function of the line?
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.
How do you draw a parabola on an equilateral triangle?
To graph a parabola you must find the axis of symmetry, determine the focal distance and write the focal as a point, and find the directrix. These are all the main points you need to be able to draw a parabola.
Is the distribution of electrons in the d-orbital symmetrical or asymmetrical?
Symmetrical. See http://www.orbitals.com for pictures of all the orbitals
What is the parabola?
A parabola is a type of graph that is not linear, and mostly curved. A parabola has the "x squared" sign in it's equation. A parabola is not only curved, but all the symmetrical. The symmetrical point, the middle of the parabola is called the vertex. You can graph this graph with the vertex, x-intercepts and a y-intercept. A parabola that has a positive x squared would be a smile parabola, and the one with the negative x squared would be a frown parabola. Also, there are the parabolas that are not up or down, but sideways Those parabolas have x=y squared, instead of y = x squared.

What is the difference between parabola and curve?
A parabola is a specific type of curve that is U-shaped and is defined by a quadratic equation. A curve, on the other hand, is a more general term that encompasses any continuous and smooth line that may have various shapes and equations. So, all parabolas are curves, but not all curves are parabolas.
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 do all graphs of quadratic functions have in common?
The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola.
Y equals -2xsquared plus 1?
OK. That's the equation of a parabola, symmetrical with respect to the x-axis, opening downward, with its nose at y=1. What's the question ?
Are monotremes either asymmetrical or symmetrical?
Symmetrical. All mammals and, indeed, all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry.
What is the most symmetrical of all mathematical curves?
a cirle is considered as the most symmetrical of all mathematical curve.
Are all triangles symmetrical?
no
Are all hexagons symmetrical?
No
Are polyhedrons symmetrical?
not all, but some
What is the definition of parabola?
There are several ways of defining a parabola. Here are some:Given a straight line and a point not on that line, a parabola is the locus of all points that are equidistant from that point (the focus) and the line (directrix).A parabola is the intersection of the surface of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to a generating line of that surface.A parabola is the graph of a quadratic equation.
