Full Version: Parabola parameters
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Are there built in tools, (or any working software), for the hp prime, that will find parabola parameters such as: vertex, focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry?

For example: Provide an equation such as y=x^2+4*x-5, and find the above items.

Thanks for the clarification of your program usage! I d/l'd it and gave it a try, but I used the form Conics(y=x^2+4*x-5), not Conics(y-(x^2+4*x-5)); which returned an error. In the interest of time, I needed to move on.

[Suggestion]
A commented description field, perhaps at the top of the program, with a few examples of input/output format, might add value to your program.

Your program is very useful, and provides just the sort of information I was after. Thank you for sharing your effort!
