 What are the uses of
parabolas?

A satellite is a perfect example

of the reflective properties of
parabola. The signals that are
received are directly sent to the
focus, which are then correctly
reflected to a receiver. These
signals are then interpreted and
are transmitted as channels on
our TV.
The cables that act
as a suspension on
the bridge are
parabolas.
Definition
A parabola is the set of all
points on the plane which are
equidistant from a fixed point
(called the focus) and a fixed
line (called the directrix)
