- Parabola - Wikipedia
The parabola is a member of the family of conic sections In mathematics, a parabola is a plane curve which is mirror-symmetrical and is approximately U-shaped It fits several superficially different mathematical descriptions, which can all be proved to define exactly the same curves

A parabola refers to an equation of a curve, such that a point on the curve is equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line Its general equation is of the form y^2 = 4ax (if it opens left right) or of the form x^2 = 4ay (if it opens up down)

A parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from: Get a piece of paper, draw a straight line on it, then make a big dot for the focus (not on the line!) Now play around with some measurements until you have another dot that is exactly the same distance from the focus and the straight line

The parabola is an open curve that is a conic section produced by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to an element of the cone

What is a parabola? A parabola is a particular type of geometrical curve which, algebraically, corresponds to a quadratic equation In geometrical terms, the parabola corresponds to the edge of slice of an inverted cone; this slice is what is called the conic "section"

In geometry, a parabola is a two-dimensional, mirror symmetrical curve which is approximately U-shaped It fits any of several superficially different mathematical descriptions which can all be proved to define curves of exactly the same shape
- The Parabola | Algebra and Trigonometry - Lumen Learning
A parabola is the set of all points (x, y) in a plane that are the same distance from a fixed line, called the directrix, and a fixed point (the focus) not on the directrix
- What is Parabola ⭐ Formula, Definition With Examples
In mathematical terms, a parabola can be defined as the locus of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given fixed point (the focus) and a fixed line (the directrix)
