This example demonstrates the standard form of a parabola. It involves the basic properties and parametric equations of parabolas. By adjusting parameters a and c, you can observe changes in the direction of the parabola's opening and the position of its vertex. The example uses points, lines, and text objects to show how to construct a parabola using GeoGebra. Suitable for high school mathematics education, particularly in coordinate geometry and function graphing.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric a(4.0)
  2. y^(2) = ((4 * a) * x)
  3. Boolean d(true)
  4. Boolean b(true)
  5. x = (-a)
  6. (a, 0)
  7. Boolean e(true)
  8. abs(a)
  9. Boolean f(true)
