Where is the axis of symmetry of a parabola located?
Parallel to the y-axis, going through the highest/lowest point of the parabola (if the parabola is negative/positive, respectively).
How do you know if a parabola has a minimum or maximum value?
When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)
What is the highest or lowest point on a graph called?
The vertex is the highest or lowest point on a graph.
On a parabola the extreme point which is the highest lowest or farthest point left or right is called a...?
The extreme point is called a 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. ■
What is the lowest or highest point in a parabola?
A vertex is the highest or lowest point in a parabola.
What is the extreme point on a parabola?
The highest or lowest point of the parabola, it is the point that is closest to the focus. The extreme point lies on the axis of symmetry

What is the extreme point of a parabola?
The extreme point it the highest or lowest point of the parabola (depending if it is concave downwards or upwards). It is the point of the parabola tat is closest to the focus. the extreme point lies on the axis of symmetry.

What does vertex mean in math class?
A vertex is the highest or lowest point in a parabola.
What is the highest or lowest point on a graph called?
The vertex is the highest or lowest point on a graph.
On a parabola the extreme point which is the highest lowest or farthest point left or right is called a...?
The extreme point is called a vertex.
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.
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. ■
What the the vertex of a parabola?
The vertex would be the point where both sides of the parabola meet.
Why is every point on a parabola equidistant to the focus and the directrix?
Because that is how a parabola is defined!
