Is a parabola a shape?
No, a shape is more technically referred to as a polygon. Some examples of polygons include squares and triangles. Polygons cannot have curved sides so therefore a parabola is not a polygon nor a shape. A parabola is a line, it extends in the direction it is going for infinity.
What is Parabola in geometry?
A parabola is not a shape, it is actually a curved line in a coordinate plane. It is shaped like a U turned in any direction. The two basic equations for it are y=a(x-h)2+k or x=a(y-k)2+h.
What is a quadratic equation in vertex form for a parabola with vertex (11 -6)?
A quadratic equation in vertex form is expressed as ( y = a(x - h)^2 + k ), where ((h, k)) is the vertex of the parabola. For a parabola with vertex at ((11, -6)), the equation becomes ( y = a(x - 11)^2 - 6 ). The value of (a) determines the direction and width of the parabola. Without additional information about the parabola's shape, (a) can be any non-zero constant.
What is the meaning of parabola?
A parabola is a curved shape that is plotted on the Cartesian plane.
Does a you shape parabola have symmetry?
Yes

Where is the line of symmety located on a parabola?
The line of symmetry located on a parabola is right down the center. A parabola is a U shape. Depending on the direction of the parabola it either has a x axis of symmetry or y axis of symmetry. You should have two equal sides of the parabola.

Does a you shape parabola have symmetry?
Yes
Why is any parabola that opens upward or downward a function?
It is a function because for every point on the horizontal axis, the parabola identified one and only one point in the vertical direction.
What happens to the shape of a parabola as the distance between the vertex of the curve and the focus becomes very large?
The parabola shape is magnified. If you keep the same scale for the graph, the parabola will look wider, more flattened out.
What is the difference between a Parabola and a Trajectory?
Trajectory is the path a projectile follows Parabola is the shape of this path
What do all graphs of quadratic functions have in common?
The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola.
In which direction does the parabola?
A parabola can open left, down, right, or left on a graph, if that's what you mean:\
What is the focus of a parabola?
The focus of a parabola is a fixed point that lies on the axis of the parabola "p" units from the vertex. It can be found by the parabola equations in standard form: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) or (y-k)^2=4p(x-h) depending on the shape of the parabola. The vertex is defined by (h,k). Solve for p and count that many units from the vertex in the direction away from the directrix. (your focus should be inside the curve of your parabola)
What is the name of a shape that arcs identically?
parabola
