The graph of a quadratic relationship is in the shape of a parabola. Parabolas are symmetric arcs and are useful for modeling relationships such as the height of a projectile over time or the curve of the cables on a suspension bridge. Think about where you have seen a parabolic arc in real life. What unique features did it have, and where did you see symmetry in the relationship?

Is there a direction u in which the rate of change of f(x, y)equals=x squared minus 3 xy plus 4 y squaredx2−3xy+4y2 at p(1,2) equals 14? give reasons for your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. no. the given rate of change is smaller than the minimum rate of change. b. no. the given rate of change is larger than the maximum rate of change. c. yes. the given rate of change is larger than the minimum rate of change and smaller than the maximum rate of change.
