Quadratic equations are basic to algebra and are the math behind parabolas, projectiles, satellite dishes and the golden ratio.

A parabola is a symmetrical, curved, U-shaped graph. The equation of a parabola graph is y = x² Parabolas exist in everyday situations, such as the path of an object in the air, headlight shapes ...

A parabola is a symmetrical curve that can describe the path of a projectile, like a thrown football, or the curve of a suspension bridge. Parabolas are defined with variations on the equation y = x2.

A short video showing how to construct a parabola. The height of each column of coins is its distance from the centre, squared. So 1² = 1. 2² = 4. 3² = 9. And so on.
