The answer depends on what information you have and what form you are checking.
The functional form of a parabola is y = ax2+ bx + c where a, b and c are real and a >0. If that is the case then, functionally it is a parabola.
The graph of a parabola has a single turning point and is symmetric about its axis. But that is not enough. The graph of y = ax4+ bx2 + c or y = ax6+ bx3+ c have similar shapes but they are not parabolas.
Find the axis. This should be easy because the parabola is symmetric about its axis. Draw a number of lines parallel to the axis. Where they meet the parabola, reflect them. These reflected lines should all meet at the same point which is the focus of the parabola.

What the the vertex of a parabola?
The vertex would be the point where both sides of the parabola meet.
Parabola is the point at which the parabola is at its lowest or highest point?
A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
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.
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the of the vertex?
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the right of the vertex.
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. ■
How would you check correctness of hyperbola?
the correctness of hyperbola can be determine by drawing a perpendicular and then rub it draw a parallel line with respect to the perpendicular line which you drawn if the intersect then your hyperbola is correct..

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 dry run in c plus plus terminology?
A manual check of the algorithm to ensure its correctness.
How do you check the correctness of HTML program?
Advanced web editors like Eclipse or Edit Plus show you tags in different colors and you can use them to identify the correctness of your code. Or you can run your HTML file in a web browser to check its correctness. HTML does not have a compiler like other programming languages because it is a markup language and not a programming language like java or C
How do you determine the narrowest parabola?
a parabola tht has the highes constant in front of x^2 is the narrowest parabola. let's say u have 2x^2+ 2x-1 and 1/2x^2+2x-1 the narrowest parabola would be the first equation.
What is half of parabola?
A curve. It would be called a parabolic curve.
How do you find the endpoints of a parabola when you have the function of the line?
