Quadratics!!!

Parabola
a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The path of a projectile under the influence of gravity ideally follows a curve of this shape.
Axis of symmetry
A line through a shape so that each side is a mirror image. If the shape were to be folded in half along the axis of symmetry, then the two halves would be the same, they would match up.
