When you plot a parabolic function on a graph, you get a U shaped like curve (ex - f (x) = x^2 + 3 ). This curve is called a parabola. Parabolas have various aspects related to them like there focus, vertex, etc.

I need a strict teacher for my son how can I get very strict teacher because my son faild 3 times so I am looking a very strict teacher who can able to punish him well and make him to pass exam how I get that much strict teacher?
You need to find out reason behind his lack of interest rather than punishing him. Find a good teacher who can enlighten that interest and at the same time work on weak areas of the student. You can contact us for any further help.
