What is a sideways parabola called?
Space & NavigationThe important difference in the two equations is in which variable is squared: for regular (vertical) parabolas, the x part is squared; for sideways (horizontal) parabolas, the y part is squared. Is a sideways parabola a function? Wikipedia writes the same: “As an example, a sideways parabola (one whose directrix is a vertical line) is

What is an example of orbit?
Space & NavigationThe definition of an orbit is a circular shape, the rotation of one full circle or a range of experience. The path the earth takes around the sun is an example of the earth’s orbit. The 365 days it takes the earth to get around the sun is an example of the time it takes

What is AAA rule?
Space & NavigationWhat is the AAA similarity theorem? Euclidean geometry may be reformulated as the AAA (angle-angle-angle) similarity theorem: two triangles have their corresponding angles equal if and only if their corresponding sides are proportional. Can you use AAA to prove similarity? Definition: Triangles are similar if the measure of all three interior angles in one triangle

What is the remainder theorem in algebra 2?
Space & NavigationThe remainder theorem enables us to calculate the remainder of the division of any polynomial by a linear polynomial, without actually carrying out the steps of the division algorithm. When a polynomial a(x) is divided by a linear polynomial b(x) whose zero is x = k, the remainder is given by r = a(k). What

What is the best definition of complementary events?
Space & NavigationTwo events are said to be complementary when one event occurs if and only if the other does not. The probabilities of two complimentary events add up to 1. For example, rolling a 5 or greater and rolling a 4 or less on a die are complementary events, because a roll is 5 or greater

What are characteristics of the parent function of a quadratic equation?
Space & NavigationThree properties that are universal to all quadratic functions: 1) The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola that either opens upward or downward (end behavior); 2) The domain of a quadratic function is all real numbers; and 3) The vertex is the lowest point when the parabola opens upwards; while the …
