Applications of Parabolas in Standard Form

[profrobbob]

If you go to the homepage of my channel, you will find a trigonometry playlist as well as precalculus. I have videos for all the conic sections.

I love to see those positive comments from dedicated viewers like yourself:) Thank you again for your continued support and viewership!

[profrobbob]

That just shows me that you were REALLY paying attention!!!...something ALL teachers appreciate:)
Glad to see you are still watching and learning too:D

Professor RobBob, this is another excellent video/lecture on the Applications of Parabolas in Standard Form. Parabolic Satellite Dishes, Flashlights, Suspension Cables from Bridges are all examples of Parabolas that is used in everyday life on planet earth.

Rob! You really saved my math grade. I had no understanding of these application question before. Thanks for taking the time and effort. you rock!

[stinkyslinky]

You are awesome. Thank you once again for the help! I don't know how I would have figured this out without you.

tried to understand this for 3 weeks and you Prof Rob Bob presented it so simple that these word problems started to make sense, thx

Rob bob last year you helped me get 96 on my math exam in gr9 this year 97 thanks so much

[SHIFTKICK]

Great video, especially for some last minute studying.

For your second example when you used a random point, shouldn't that point be (6, 0) instead of (6, 9) ? (6, 9) would be off the path of the parabola.. great video nonetheless!

[MrSpander]

does this video pertain to trig as well? or do you have actual trig vids with parabolas, elipses, and hyperbolas? thank you sir.

My first day of school speech is always about saving money...so explains the shirt:)

[adriandrogeanu]

if you write the equation y=a(x-h)^2+k you can solve the second app much faster.
i wonder if that second exercise can be solved otherwise. anyway great work and keep on posting.

what if the problem said that considering the thickness of the headlight reflector is is 1 unit blabla. find the focus? what to do? the only given is the width and the heightof the reflector

[alexramos]

Question prof. Rob Bob. is the position (depth) of the focus supposed to be in the optimum position for taking max. advantage of whatever ( light, sound, cable reception ) is being received or sent? that is, once we find where it should be, is this the best  position?

[blueangel]

nevermind...haha you fixed it, i should wait to make a comment -.-
