2. OBJECTIVE: Parabolas Students will graph and write equations of Parabolas. 16.0 Students demonstrate and explain how the geometry of the graph of a conic section (e.g., asymptotes, foci, eccentricity) depends on the coefficients of the quadratic equation representing it.

3. Parabolas Parabola – has the property that any point on it is equadistant from a point called the focus and a line called the directrix. Vertex Focus directrix

4. Focus Vertex x 2 =4py Characteristics of a Parabola The standard form of the equation of a parabola

5. Characteristics of a Parabola The standard and Focus form of the equation of a parabola Standard Form Focus Form

6. Characteristics of a Parabola The Inverse of a parabola Standard Form Focus Form
