How can you identify a hyperbola from its equation?

A hyperbola can be identified by the presence of two squared terms with opposite signs, e.g., $$\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$$ .

How can you identify a parabola from its equation?

A parabola can be identified by having only one squared term, e.g., $$y = ax^2 + bx + c$$ .
