a parabola tht has the highes constant in front of x^2 is the narrowest parabola. let's say u have 2x^2+ 2x-1 and 1/2x^2+2x-1 the narrowest parabola would be the first equation.

How many points are needed to determine a parabola?
3?
Is knowing the coordinates of the vertex of a parabola enough to determine the domain and range?
i think that the range and the domain of a parabola is the coordinates of the vertex
How can you determine the orientation of a parabola when written in standard form?
If the coefficient of x2 is positive then the parabola is cup shaped (happy face). If the coefficient of x2 is negative then the parabola is cap shaped (gloomy face).
How do you draw a parabola on an equilateral triangle?
To graph a parabola you must find the axis of symmetry, determine the focal distance and write the focal as a point, and find the directrix. These are all the main points you need to be able to draw a parabola.
Determine whether the parabola y equals -x2 plus 15x plus 8 opens up down left or right?
when you have y=+/-x2 +whatever, the parabola opens up y=-(x2 +whatever), the parabola opens down x=+/-y2 +whatever, the parabola opens right x=-(y2 +whatever), the parabola opens left so, your answer is up
Determine in which direction the parabola opens y equals x2-7x plus 18?
A parabola opens upwards if the quadratic coefficient - the number before the "x2" is positive; downward if it is negative. Note that x2 is the same as 1x2.
What function is y equals axraised to the 2 power plus bx plus c?
This is the general form of a quadratic equation. The letters a, b, and c are constants to be supplied. a must be nonzero for it to remain a quadratic, but b and c can be any real numbers. It will plot a parabola, opening up or down, depending on the coefficient(a). Coefficient (a) will also determine how steeply the parabola changes. The coefficients b and c (along with a) will determine where the parabola is located.
How do you find the endpoints of a parabola when you have the function of the line?
A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.
What is the narrowest in western South America?
chile is the narrowest country in south america
Is a parabola the same as a parabolic curve?
No. If you tilt a parabola, you will still have a parabolic curve but it will no longer be a parabola.
Parabola is the point at which the parabola is at its lowest or highest point?
A parabola is NOT a point, it is the whole curve.
What curved path traveled by a thrown baseball is known as?
projectile motion
