The Shape of a Parabola - Part 2

© Copyright 2003, Jim Loy

Here is the parabola ax^2+bx+c (where x^2 means x squared). You can adjust a, b, and c by moving the three red dots, and see how that affects the curve. There is a problem with this demonstration at zero, with a, b, or c, as sometimes we get a negative sign. I will try to fix that.

Please enable Java for an interactive construction (with Cinderella).

The above Java interactive demonstration was created with Cinderella (a geometry program).
