👉 In mathematics, a parabolic curve is a curve that can be described by an equation of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c. This means that the x-coordinate of each point on the curve is proportional to its y-coordinate. For example, consider the parabola defined by the equation y = 4x^2 - 3x + 1. This equation represents a parabolic curve with vertex at the origin (0, 0) and passes through the point
