A parabola is a curve formed by cutting a cone with a inclined plane. It’s a symmetrical figure resembling an arch.
In mathematics, the parabola is defined as the set of points equidistant from a point called the focus and a line called the directrix.
This curve is found in many applications, such as the trajectory of a projectile launched into the air or the shape of light reflectors in headlights or spotlights.
The parabola is also used in the design of structures and in solving geometric and physical problems.
