This example demonstrates how to draw the parabola of the Golden Gate Bridge using GeoGebra. It involves core mathematical concepts like parabolas, coordinate systems, and parameter settings. The construction uses GeoGebra commands and objects A, B, pic1, a, h, k, f for building the graph and adjusting parameters. Suitable for high school students learning about the geometric properties and parametric equations of parabolas.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point A(0.01, -2.52)
  2. Point B(10.544, -2.522)
  3. Numeric a(-5)
  4. Numeric h(0)
  5. Numeric k(0)
  6. f(x) = (a * (x - h)^(2)) + k
