Using Pythagorean theorem, the student walked 53.58 meters more compared to the total displacement from the starting point.
If a student walks 100 meters north, then 100 meters west, then the path he travels resembles the sides of a right triangle (see attached photo).
Using Pythagorean theorem, we can solve for the total displacement from the starting point to the end point.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where c is the total displacement from the starting point to the end point
a is the distance he walks up north
b is the distance he walks to the west
c^2 = 100^2 + 100^2
c^2 = 10,000 + 10,000
c^2 = 20,000
c = 141.42 meters
Comparing the total distance the student walked and the total displacement from the starting point to the end point by subtraction.
100 meters + 100 meters - 141.42 meters = 53.58 meters

Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is given by
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the parabola's vertex. Since the vertex is at (1, -6), we can write the equation as
Also, since the parabola passes through (4, -7), we can use this to find the value for a:
or
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is
