This post is about parabola section. parabola basically, a graph of quadratic function. Also it is part of conic section. It is the part of syllabus of SAT subject test, SAT, Math of AS/A level and IBDP HL/SL. A parabola is an open curve on axes in both direction. The parabola will be symmetrical about […]

Conics
Conics section is a curve section of cone. Conic section is obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. Because of this is called cone. Conic graphs can be “slanty”, Therefore conics equation is seems like circle. Because a conics generated by the intersection of a plane and a circular cone […]
Parabola
Vertex of a parabola is at the ‘origin’ and the axis of symmetry is along the x or y-axis, then the equation of the parabola is the simplest. So that its vertex is (h,k) and its axis of symmetry is parallel to the x-axis, it has an equation of (y – k)2= 4p (x – […]
Summary of conics section
conic graphs can be “slanty”, as shown above. But the equations for the “slanty” conics get so much more messy that you can’t deal with them until after trigonometry. Summary of Conics
