I just emailed my professor asking for more help.  It is very vague and I cannot find anything online to help with it.  Thank you for giving me a facepalm, I was starting to freak out.  Maybe he put the wrong questions up

hmm, is it a circle ?

perl · Answer

parabolas dont really have a center, they have a vertex
