    Understanding Parabolas: What's the Importance of Canonical Form?

    Thank you sooooo much for your explanations I need a few precisions if you don't mind ! I lost you here! The 4 you added and sunstracted ? Why can you do this ? Is it -2 because of the "-h" in y = a (x-h)² + k ? I understand now! If a was say 1/100 it would almost apear flat if we...
