Applications of Parabolas-Highway Overpasses/ Underpasses A highway underpass is parabolic in shape.


Parabola: A parabola is the graph that results from $p(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ Parabolas are symmetric about a vertical line known as the Axis of Symmetry. The Axis of Symmetry runs through the maximum or minimum point of the parabola which is called the vertex.
  1. The highway overpass is represented graphically. Zeroes of a polynomial can be expressed graphically. Number of zeroes of polynomial is equal to number of points where the graph of polynomial:

Question 34 Marks

Applications of Parabolas
Parabola has many applications in our day-to-day life. For example, if an object (projectile) is thrown in space, then the path of the projectile is a parabola. If we know the equation of the path of a projectile by using various properties of parabola, we can obtain may important results like greatest height attained by the projectile, its horizontal range reached etc.
Parabola: A parabola is the graph that results from $p(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ they are symmetric about a vertical line known as the axis of symmetry and runs through the maximum or minimum point of the parabola which is called the vertex.

Graph of a quadratic polynomial is:
The number of zeroes that polynomial $p(x)=(x-2)^2+5$ can have is:
If a parabolic trajectory is represented by $x^2-4 x+3$, then its zeroes are:
