The gradient is nothing but a slope. And the best way to join 2 gradients using a vertical curve is obviously using a parabolic one.

Why it is parabolic?
Give me an accurate answer.

The Ideal vertical curve will be circular.

Parabolic curve.

The Ideal vertical curve is circular.

Ideal vertical curve is circular if sight distance available throughout the length of curve is constant it possible only in case of Joining one Gradient.
In this case, two gradient are Joint by curve therefore sight distance is not constant throughout the length of curve so we provide Simple Parabolic curve.

Parabolic is done beacause in case of parabolic sight distance is large visible.
