Are All Parabolas Similar


Description

In the previous lesson, students used transformations to prove that all parabolas with the same distance between the focus and directrix are congruent. In the process, they made a connection between geometry, coordinate geometry, transformations, equations, and functions. In this lesson, students explore how dilation can be applied to prove that all parabolas are similar.
