👉 In mathematics, a parabola is an algebraic curve in two dimensions defined by the equation \( y^2 = ax + b \). It has one focus at the point (a, 0) and a directrix given by the line \( x = -\frac{b}{2a} \). The term "parabranchiate" refers to the property of parabolas that they have two branches. This means that there are two possible paths for the parabola
