Parabolas Ch10.2 and additional material
Ex) Find the vertex, axis of symmetry and direction of opening.
By drawing a picture and using the formulas, you can write the equation of parabolas. It is useful to remember that the distance from the vertex to the focus = the distance from the vertex to the directrix = 1/|4a|
Ex) Write the vertex form equation of the parabola. Opens left or right,
Ex) Write the vertex form equation of the parabola. Opens up or down and passes through
