[@newgreen956]

I literally asked my math teacher this same thing 2 years ago. her answer was :" no it doesn't work that way "... be careful whom you trust!

[@perpetualengine]

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]

@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]

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]

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.

[@becomepostal]

It’s not surprising a math teacher wouldn’t know that.

[@TheAdriyaman]

*All conic sections with the same eccentricity are similar.* All circles are similar(e=0) All parabolas are similar(e=1) All lines are similar.(e→∞) You can make an extension of this video where you discuss this in greater detail.

[@Derpuwolf]

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.

[@aguyontheinternet8436]

I am certain, however, and I gladly take any offer to prove me wrong

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.

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).

Seems to me that you made it look unexpected by not actually picking corresponding points in your graph. y2 = by1/a and x2 = bx1/a, so the rectangle you drew with the axes would be similar.

Very good point. I could have picked a point further down on bx^2 with the same ratio. But I wanted to emphasise the arbitrary nature of the two parabolas.

[@iagocasabiellgonzalez7807]

+standupmaths I've allways seen the flat one as the tip of the skinny one, resized.
