you could make a circle with a circumference of 1 and its origin at (0.5,0) by plotting the two functions y(1) = .5(x^2) and y(2) = -.5(x^2) + 1 within the range [-1,1]

[eqn]
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
y^2 = r^2 - x^2
y = \pm \sqrt{r^2 - x^2}
If you consider this a parabola, yes.

Can you make a sine wave with parabolas?

The way the slope changes along the curves is not the same. You could make something approximating a sine wave I suppose.
Taylor that shit. First, draw a line that is tangent. Then find the first derivative and draw a parabola whose first derivative is equal to that. More derivatives = closer results
The curvature is not the same, the curvature of a circle is constant, parabola, varying. Google fucking radius of curvature. Confirmed for faggot who never took calculus III therefore is probably either stupid or underage. Reported.
You should all be ashamed for replying to this thread.
This thread: it's an amusing train wreck. As a tribute, I'll add my own idiocy to the mix. >>8 What about cocaine? >>11 "Defeat Shredder without being turned into a regular turtle." >>16 I prefer Cerulean. >>17 Faggot: n. "a bundle of sticks and branches bound together."
