👉 In the context of geometry and trigonometry, a parabola is a curve that opens upwards or downwards. It is characterized by its axis of symmetry, which is the line that passes through the vertex of the parabola. The equation for a parabola can be written in the form \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\), where \(a\) is the coefficient of \(x^2\), \(b\) is the coefficient of \(x\), and \(
