Parabola Calculator

Parabola is a curve formed by the function which is a quadratic function. Quadratic functions are the

functions whose highest exponent of the variable is 2. Parabolas have a single vertex and ‘x’ and ‘y’

intercepts. Parabola calculator is the online tool which can instantly calculate the details regarding the shape

of a parabola.

Example 1: Find the vertex of the given quadratic equation, f(x) = x² – 6x + 8.

Given quadratic equation: f(x)= x² – 6x + 8

Since the given function is in the form of f(x)= ax² + bx + c, we can use the formula:

Vertex = (-b/2a, f(-b/2a))

Hence we can find the ‘x’ coordinate of the vertex by using-> x = -b/2a

In our given equation, a= 1; b= -6; c= 8

x= -(-6)/ (2 * 1)

x= 6/2-> x = 3

Hence f(3)= 3² – (6*3) + 8-> f(3)= -1

Vertex= (3, -1)

Example 2: Find the vertex of the given quadratic equation, f(x) = x² – 2x - 15.

Given quadratic equation: f(x)= x² – 2x - 15

Since the given function is in the form of f(x)= ax² + bx + c, we can use the formula:

Vertex = (-b/2a, f(-b/2a))

Hence we can find the ‘x’ coordinate of the vertex by using-> x = -b/2a

In our given equation, a= 1; b= -2; c= -15

x= -(-2)/ (2 * 1)

x= 2/2-> x= 1

Hence f(1)= 1² – (2*1) -15-> f(1)= -16

Vertex= (1, -16)

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

I have enjoyed my session with Aparna and it was helpful. I will hope to see her as my Math tutor in future sessions as well.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
