Parabola EvoluteGiven a Parabola
 | (1) |
the parametric equation and its derivatives are
 | (2) |
The Radius of Curvature is
 | (3) |
The Tangent Vector is
 | (4) |
so the parametric equations of the evolute are
and
 | (9) |
 | (10) |
The Evolute is therefore
 | (11) |
This is known as Neile's Parabola and is a Semicubical Parabola. From a point above the evolute threenormals can be drawn to the Parabola, while only one normal can be drawn to the Parabola from a point below the Evolute.See also Neile's Parabola, Parabola, Semicubical Parabola
