What is a parabola?
A form of arch defined by a moving point which remains equidistant from a fixed point inside the arch and a moving point along a line. This shape when inverted into an arch structure results in a form which allows equal vertical loading along its length. A parabola is the graph of a quadratic equation. Mathworld has some nice drawings. Need a link? You got it. A Parabola is the set of all points that are equidistant from a point and a line. The line is called the directrix and the point is called the focus. Each point on the parabola is as far from the directrix as it is from the focus.
