THE
PARABOLA
A PARABOLA is a set of all points in a
plane equidistant from a fixed point and a
fixed line in that plane. The fixed point is
called the FOCUS of the parabola and the
fixed line is called the DIRECTRIX. The
line through the focus and perpendicular
to the directrix is called the AXIS of the
parabola, and the point where the
parabola crosses its axis is called the
VERTEX. The chord drawn through the
focus and perpendicular to the axis of the
parabola is called the LATUS RECTUM

 HOMEWORK
1. The class will be grouped into 10.
2. Each group will be given a problem that
they will be presenting on the next day.
3. Each group should write his work on a
manila paper.
4. Three (3) minutes will be given to every
group for the presentation. It is important that
each member has part in the discussion.
5. Questions may be asked by the teachers
and classmates every after a group had
discussed.
 DIRECTIONS
For NUMBERS 1 – 4, find the
properties of each of the parabola.

For NUMBERS 5 – 8, find the standard

form of each of the parabola and the
missing properties.

For NUMBERS 9 and 10, find the

properties of each of the parabola and
draw the graph
