This example demonstrates the graph characteristics of any parabola (with vertical or horizontal axis of symmetry). Key math concepts include parabola equations, vertex, focus, directrix, vector, and distance. GeoGebra commands and objects used in construction are Vertex, Focus, Vector, Distance, Directrix. Suitable for high school coordinate geometry teaching or student exploration.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Vertex(c) → V, , ,
  2. Focus(c) → F,
  3. Vector(V, F) → u
  4. Distance(V, F) → distanceVF
  5. Vertex(d) → V_1, , ,
  6. Focus(d) → F_1,
  7. Vector(V_1, F_1) → v
  8. Distance(V_1, F_1) → distanceV1F1
  9. Directrix(d) → a,
  10. Directrix(c) → b,
