What type of equation results in a graph of a parabola?
A parabola looks like a frowning face :( or a smiling face :) The type of equation that would give you a parabola is called a Quadratic equation. Quadratic equations have x^2 as the highest exponent in the equation. ex: x squared + 2x + 1
Is a parabola the same as a parabolic curve?
No. If you tilt a parabola, you will still have a parabolic curve but it will no longer be a parabola.
