CCSS High School: Geometric Properties of Parabola
[b]This GeoGebra Book contains lots of discovery-based learning activities, investigations, and meaningful remediation worksheets that were designed to help enhance students' learning of geometry concepts both inside and outside of the mathematics classroom. [color=#1551b5]This GeoGebra Book also contains contributions from Samantha Cruz ([url]https://www.geogebra.org/scruz10[/url])[/color] [/b]

Locus Problem (1)
In the applet below, [br][br][i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i][color=#1e84cc][b] is a point[/b] [/color]that is not on line [i]d[/i]. [br][b]Point [i]D[/i] is a point that lies ON [color=#666666]the line that passes through [i]A [/i]and [i]B[/i][/color]. [br][/b]The [color=#ff00ff][b]pink line[/b][/color] is the [color=#ff00ff][b]perpendicular bisector[/b][/color] of the segment with endpoints [i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i] and [i][b]D[/b][/i]. [br][br]Drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] along the line. What do you see? Describe in detail! [br] [br]Feel free to alter the locations of [color=#666666][i][b]A,[/b][/i][/color] [i][color=#666666][b]B[/b][/color], [/i]and/or [i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i][color=#666666]. [br][/color]Then [color=#38761d][b]clear the trace[/b][/color] and drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] along [color=#666666][b]the line[/b][/color] again. [br][br]Why does this occur?
