Parabolas

Parabolas

1. A parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from a fixed point called the focus, and a fixed straight line called directrix.

2. The vertex of a parabola is the point in which the parabola changes its direction and where the parabola crosses its axis

3. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves and also it pases through the vertex of a parabola.

4. The equation for the parabola is "F(x) = ax^2 + bx + c"

5. Examples in real life

6. Graphs of parabolas
