Parabolas

1. What is a parabola?

   • A parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from: a fixed point, and a fixed straight line.

2. What is the vertex of a parabola?

   • the vertex (where the parabola makes its sharpest turn) is halfway between the focus and directrix.

3. What is a parabolas axis of symmetry?

   • The axis of symmetry (goes through the focus, at right angles to the directrix)

4. What is the equation of a parabola?

   • The simplest equation for a parabola is y = x2
   • Turned on its side it becomes y2 = x
