Parabola as a Locus Activity Tim Brzezinski Parabola Activity Tim Brzezinski Locus Construction 1 Activity Tim Brzezinski A parabola is a U-shaped plane curve where any point is at an equal distance from a fixed point, which is the focus, and from a fixed straight line,

We know we can find the x-intercepts of the parabola by using the quadratic formula The x A parabola is the curve formed by the intersection of a plane and a cone, when the plane is at the same slant as the side of the cone
