This is the graph of y = x2.Complete the table below:
x y-3-2-10123
Discuss the patterns that you observe.
A graph that has this shape is called a parabola.
y = x2 is the "parent function".
Slide 27 / 181
The equation of a parabola can be written in two forms: y = ax2 + bx + c (the General Form)
y = a(x - h)2 + k (Standard Form)where (h,k) is the vertex. This is also called Vertex Form.
Example: Name the vertex of each equation: A) y= -3(x - 4)2 + 5
B) y= 2(x + 7)2 + 2 C) y= (x -3)2
Slide 28 / 181
Match each equation to its parabola - drag the number of the graph to its equation.

A parabola is a locus* of points equidistant from a fixed point, the focus, and a fixed line, the directrix.
*locus is just a fancy word for set.
Geometric Definition
Every parabola is symmetric with respect to a line through the focus and perpendicular to the directrix. The vertex of the parabola is the "turning point" and is on the axis of symmetry.

General Form: ax2 + bx + cy2 + dy + e = 0
This form could represent any conic under the following conditions:
In a parabola, either a=0 or b=0.
ax2 + bx + dy +e =0
cy2 + dy + bx + e=0
In a circle, a=c and both a and c are positive. ax2 + bx + cy2 + dy + e = 0
In an ellipse, a and c are both positive, and a≠c. * ax2 + bx + cy2 + dy + e = 0
In a hyperbola, either a<0 and c>0 or a>0 and c<0.
ax2 + bx - cy2 + dy + e = 0
cy2 + dy - ax2 + bx + e = 0
* A circle is a special type of ellipse in which a = c.

Eccentricity of Conic Sections
This picture depicts the comparative eccentricity of conic sections. Eccentricity (e) is a measure of "unroundness". A circle is round, so has e=0. For an ellipse, as the ellipse becomes more elongated, e increases from 0 to 1, not-including 1. A parabola has e=1, and for a hyperbola e>1.
