As quadratic Bézier curve

A quadratic Bézier curve is a curve c → (t) {\displaystyle {\vec {c}}(t)} defined by three points P 0: p → 0 {\displaystyle P_{0}:{\vec {p}}_{0}}, P 1: p → 1 {\displaystyle P_{1}:{\vec {p}}_{1}} and P 2: p → 2 {\displaystyle P_{2}:{\vec {p}}_{2}}, called its control points:

This curve is an arc of a parabola (see § As the affine image of the unit parabola).
