Parabola（抛物线）

找这篇介绍抛物线的文章是为了我设计一个轨迹所用，人越往上走，这最基本的东西都忘了，翻译了一点，因为我只用到了翻译的这些，各位如果有需求，就自行翻译。英文好的，就自己读英文。（谷歌翻译是个好东西，英文复制上去，翻译的基本上就八九不离十了，再加上自己的判断，改改就可以了！）

ParabolaDirectrix

抛物线（复数“抛物线”;格雷1997，第45页）是平面中与给定线（圆锥截面准线）等距离的所有点的集合和不在线上的给定点（焦点）。因此，参数（即，准线和焦点之间的距离）由下式给出，其中是从顶点到准线或焦点的距离。通过使抛物线绕其对称轴旋转而获得的旋转表面被称为抛物面。

ParabolaFocus

Menaechmus研究了抛物线，试图实现立方体复制。 Menaechmus通过找到两个抛物线和的交点解决了这个问题。 Euclid写了关于抛物线的信息，Apollonius给它现在的名字。帕斯卡尔认为抛物线是一个圆的投影，伽利略表明落在均匀重力下的抛射物遵循抛物线路径。格雷戈里和牛顿考虑了抛物线的反射焦散曲线特性，它将平行光线带到焦点上（MacTutor Archive），如上图所示。

The quantity is known as the latus rectum. If the vertex is at instead of (0, 0), the equation of the parabola is

If the parabola instead opens upwards, its equation is

Parabola3Points

Three points uniquely determine one parabola with directrix parallel to the -axis and one with directrix parallel to the -axis. If these parabolas pass through the three points , , and , they are given by equations

|x^2 x y 1; x_1^2 x_1 y_1 1; x_2^2 x_2 y_2 1; x_3^2 x_3 y_3 1|=0

(7)

and

|y^2 x y 1; y_1^2 x_1 y_1 1; y_2^2 x_2 y_2 1; y_3^2 x_3 y_3 1|=0.

ParabolaPolar

In polar coordinates, the equation of a parabola with parameter and center (0, 0) is given by

(9)

(left figure). The equivalence with the Cartesian form can be seen by setting up a coordinate system and plugging in and to obtain

(10)

Expanding and collecting terms,

(11)

so solving for gives (◇). A set of confocal parabolas is shown in the figure on the right.

In pedal coordinates with the pedal point at the focus, the equation is

(12)

The parabola can be written parametrically as

A segment of a parabola is a Lissajous curve.

ParabolaEnvelope

A parabola may be generated as the envelope of two concurrent line segments by connecting opposite points on the two lines (Wells 1991).

ParabolaTangents

In the above figure, the lines , , and are tangent to the parabola at points , , and , respectively. Then (Wells 1991). Moreover, the circumcircle of passes through the focus (Honsberger 1995, p. 47). In addition, the foot of the perpendicular to a tangent to a parabola from the focus always lies on the tangent at the vertex (Honsberger 1995, p. 48).

ParabolaTangentLines

Given an arbitrary point located "outside" a parabola, the tangent or tangents to the parabola through can be constructed by drawing the circle having as a diameter, where is the focus. Then locate the points and at which the circle cuts the vertical tangent through . The points and (which can collapse to a single point in the degenerate case) are then the points of tangency of the lines and and the parabola (Wells 1991).

The curvature, arc length, and tangential angle are

The tangent vector of the parabola is

The plots below show the normal and tangent vectors to a parabola.
