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 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).


What is the equation for a parabola?

The general equation for a parabola is y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants that determine the shape, orientation, and position of the parabola.


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.


The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (5 -3). Which of the equations below could be the one for this parabolaus anything?

To determine the equation of a parabola with a vertex at the point (5, -3), we can use the vertex form of a parabola's equation: (y = a(x - h)^2 + k), where (h, k) is the vertex. Substituting in the vertex coordinates, we have (y = a(x - 5)^2 - 3). The value of "a" will determine the direction and width of the parabola, but any equation in this form with varying "a" values could represent the 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


Is y(x 1)(x-3) an equation for this parabola?

To determine if ( y = (x - 1)(x - 3) ) is an equation for a parabola, we can rewrite it in standard form. Expanding this gives ( y = x^2 - 4x + 3 ), which is indeed a quadratic equation representing a parabola. Therefore, yes, ( y = (x - 1)(x - 3) ) is an equation for a parabola.


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.
