?What are the key properties of a parabola, and how does its equation relate to its focus and directrix

A parabola is defined by its focus and directrix. Its equation in standard form, (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k), relates the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) and the distance 'p' between the vertex and focus, as well as the equation of its directrix.

?How are parabolas used in real-world applications, and what role do they play in fields like physics, engineering, and astronomy

Parabolas find applications in designing satellite dishes, reflecting telescopes, and automobile headlights. In physics, they describe the trajectory of projectiles. In engineering, they optimize reflectors and antennas. In astronomy, they focus light in telescopes.
