The appearances of
parabolic shapes in real
life are abundant. You may
be familiar with the
following examples: base
of the Eiffel Tower, a
roller coaster, trajectory
of water from a fountain, and radio telescope.
Fountains shoot graceful arcs of water into the
air, offering lessons in geometric spectacle. The
circular fountain at the National Gallery of Arts
and Sculpture Garden shoots parabolic streams
of water from its circumference towards its
center. Jets angled at 50 and 60 degrees seem
to send water in particularly striking parabolic
paths.
A radio telescope is an astronomical instrument
consisting of a radio receiver and an antenna
system that is used to detect radio-frequency
emitted by extraterrestrial sources. The
parabolic shape of the dish gathers and focuses
faint radio waves from distant sources
efficiently.

Write the terms with variables on one side

of the equation.
Arrange the terms in descending order.
If the coefficient of x2 is not 1, divide both
sides by the coefficient of x2.
Take half of the coefficient of x and add its
square to both sides of the equation to
complete the square.
Factor the perfect square trinomial on one
side. Simplify the expression on the other
side.
Use the principle of positive and negative
roots
Solve for x in each case.
