But it was a parabola
The vertex of a parabola is either the highest or lowest
I literally just said that I didn’t know if it was called something else for different situations. I get what it is

I get that it can be written as a fraction
Where the heck did u get it from tho?

See Desmos link in #122, or use x = -b/2a and then sub that to find y

Trigonometry (bearings)
A hiker leaves a campsite and walks 7 km on a bearing of N 40° E (that’s 40° east of due north). Then, she turns and walks 10 km on a bearing of S 60° E (60° east of due south). How far is she from the starting point?

…
I was just gonna do a^2+b^2=c^2
When I did that, I got a lil over 12km (…)

#134 or resolve into north components and east components, add then c^2 = a^2 + b^2
I like maths too much

No. The parabola could be on its side. Pointing to right or left.
But then the equations are more difficult.
The point is that you then do not have the vertex at top nor bottom. It points sideways.
'the point'. Pun not intended but the pun works anyway.
the one opening to the right can be written x = y^2
the one opening to the left can be written x = -(Y^2)
But that's not proper y=f(x) notation which involves square roots and +- signs which my keyboard doesn't do well.
