Before you finished the explanation, I tried to visualize it in my head and it’s fairly simple to understand intuitively. A “fatter” or wider parabola is simply a zoomed in “skinny” parabola. As you zoom into a point of the parabola, it flattens out, thus, getting wider. I’m not 100% certain this assumption is correct, but it feels pretty solid.

I figured this out in school and my math teacher was not happy about it since I started drawing only standard parabola with the ruler and then adjusting the coordinates accordingly.

My teacher asked what the different parabolas would look like approaching infinity? I answered they would all look the same. Teacher could not understand what I was trying to get him to see. There is a huge difference between what it looks like a the edge of our calculator and approaching infinity.
@louisng114
5 жыл бұрын
@perpetualengine Actually, different parabolas approach infinity at different rates. For two functions to look the same at infinity, their different needs to approach 0. For example, y = 1/x and y = 0 look the same at infinity (hence y = 1/x has y = 0 as a horizontal asymptote) since the limit of 1/x - 0 as x approaches infinity is 0. On the other hand, the parabola y = 2x^2 and y = x^2 do not look the same at infinity because the limit of 2x^2 - x^2 as x approaches infinity is not 0.
@perpetualengine
5 жыл бұрын
By "look like approaching infinity" my teacher was talking about the slope. An x^2 parabola "looks" like two parallel lines. He had examples of wider parabolas and made sure we were told that they would look like a 45 degree diagonal slope "as approaching infinity" but they would all "look" like vertical parallel lines. Such as the difference between x^2 and .1x^2.
@louisng114
5 жыл бұрын
Since the graph of x^2 extends forever to the left and right, it would not look like two parallel lines. If you zoom x and y both by a factor of infinity, you would get a ray pointing up with (0,0) as the endpoint. With that said, your answer is much better than your teacher's answer. Parabolas rise more and more rapidly as you move to the side, no matter how wide it is. Saying that the parabola has a 45 degree slope is absurd. A hyperbola such as x^2 - y^2 = 1 would have a slope approaching 45 degrees, not a parabola.

They both tasted awful, but dip the bread in the soup and it was the best thing I'd tasted in months. I typed in "TomatoBreadOrgasm" and thought it wouldn't matter anyway, it's just a video site. After Google Plus integration, I had the option to use my real name, but I liked the fact that people would be forced to face the fact that they can't judge a book by its cover. I decided to keep it for the sake of the contrast between my username and the things I actually say.

I can explain that, seeing as a parabola is technically a cut through any 2 points on a circle or at least the rest bits left over. He just went from the 2 connecting ends of the parabola, which do not have 2 connecting ends, because if they were connecting it wouldn't be ends. It would be a circle. So he went around in a circle.

There is a fairly intuitive way of looking at this. If you zoom out on the yellow one, you eventually have a picture of the red one, and zooming out is basically scaling the same in both the x and the y directions. Great video to prove this though.

That ending though. XD The way I saw it, was that the wide parabola you drew could just be shrunk down until it fit onto the tiny bottom part of the narrow parabola, which is very wide locally; and then presumably the wide parabola starts straightening out as it goes up, meaning that when sufficiently shrunk down, it would be as narrow as the the other one. So I was easily able to visualize them matching up if you just shrunk the wide one enough.

your a great man keep doing this great work for the sake of science and math . you are making math really stand up again in my mind
i love chalk and how smooth the lines it makes are. just wanted to get it out there.
Matt you and the guys on numberphile are absolute heroes, partly because you guys have really fueled my love of maths over the past few years (doing A levels currently) but also because you guys are just so ridiculously in love with maths :D
That was the best possible ending to this video.
That parker circle though
The first standupmaths video I watched... the good times...

I reckon that an easier way to demonstrate it is by *zoom-ing* any single parabola at its base (or peak, if it's inverted). If you zoom in, the parabola becomes wider as the branches will separate gradually; and if you zoom out, the parabola gets skinnier. *That way, you can map any given parabola onto any other one.* Sorry for my bad english :)

best vid i've seen in a while, MEGA THANKS!
Well, all circles have an eccentricity of 0, so they're all similar. All parabolas have an eccentricity of 1, so they're also all similar.
