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
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.
Can a parabola shape be in any direction?
Yes, but a parabola, itself, can have only a vertical line of symmetry.
How is a bridge a parabola?
They both have an arc shape.
