Creation of a Parabola
A conic section is a curve formed by the intersection of a plane a double-napped cone
(Zoebel, 1997-2006)
Where are parabolas?(Internet Access is Required)
• They’re everywhere.
• Put arrow on icon and click.
• Click power point icon on task bar to continue with slide show after video is finished.
(Part 1-They’re Out There!!!, 2008)
When you transform a functionInside the parentheses translates left and right (opposite of what you think)Outside the parentheses translates up and down (exactly what you think)
One of the simplest polynomial functions is
drops down by three units.

This version moves it left 2, up 3, and vertically compresses
Definition of a Parabola
(Larson, Boswell, Kanold & Stiff, 2005)
Parabolas
Parabolas with vertex at (0,0) and open up or down are in the form:
pyx 42
4py
If positive, the parabola opens up
If negative, the parabola opens down
The Axis of Symmetry
For parabolas that open up or down, the axis of symmetry is the line x = the x-coordinate of the vertex.
The Focus
The focus is an ordered pair (x,y), and is INSIDE the parabola and on the axis of symmetry.
The Directrix
The directrix is a line that is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and is always OUTSIDE the parabola.
4p
4p is the number in front of the variable that has a coefficient of 1.
is the distance from the vertex to the focus and/or the distance from the vertex to the directrix.
p
The Vertex
The vertex lies halfway between the focus ( x, y) and the directrix (line).
Definition of a Parabola

The directrix is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and is also 2 units away from the vertex, so the equation of the directrix is
