Solving a Parabola Equation and Understanding Applications
parabola We define a parabola as the locus of a point that moves such that its distance from a fixed straight line called the directrix is equal to
Properties of Parabola · The eccentricity of any parabola is 1 · The parabola is symmetric about its axis · The axis is perpendicular to the directrix · The parabola Finding the Vertex of a Parabola We have now introduced how to find the vertex of a parabola The x − coordinate of the vertex is x = − b 2
