Definitions and meanings of "Parabola"
What do we mean by parabola?
A plane curve formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to an element of the cone or by the locus of points equidistant from a fixed line and a fixed point not on the line. noun
Same as parabole. noun
A curve commonly defined as the intersection of a cone with a Plane parallel with its side. noun
By extension, any algebraical curve, or branch of a curve, having the line at infinity as a real tangent. noun
A kind of curve; one of the conic sections formed by the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane parallel to one of its sides. It is a curve, any point of which is equally distant from a fixed point, called the focus, and a fixed straight line, called the directrix. See focus. noun
One of a group of curves defined by the equation y = axn where n is a positive whole number or a positive fraction. For the cubical parabola n = 3; for the semicubical parabola n = 3/2. See under cubical, and semicubical. The parabolas have infinite branches, but no rectilineal asymptotes. noun
The conic section formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to a tangent plane to the cone; the locus of points equidistant from a fixed point (the focus) and line (the directrix). noun
The explicit drawing of a parallel between two essentially dissimilar things, especially with a moral or didactic purpose. A parable. noun
A plane curve formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to an element of the curve noun
The conic section formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to a tangent plane to the cone; the locus of points equidistant from a fixed point (the focus) and line (the directrix).
The explicit drawing of a parallel between two essentially dissimilar things, especially with a moral or didactic purpose. A parable.

A shape that looks like a U can be in any direction. there are certain terms relating to a parabola for example: latus rectum, directrix, focus, locus, axis of symmetry and roots. Parabolas can be represented algebraically in the form of a quadratic function. Latus rectum is the line that passes right through the focus horizontally Axis of symmetry is the line that passes through the vertex vertically Focus is a point below or above or on the side of the vertex Directrix is a line that is derived by -a and is on the opposite side of focus Roots are the points on the x axis that intersect the parabola Urban Dictionary
