Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a 
a = -31/42.25 
a = -124/169 

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.

Three people whowork full time are working together on a project but their totaltime on the project is to be equivalent to that
Art [367]
The answer is (1/3). So first you need to determine the fraction of time the second person worked. Multiply (1/2)x(1/3) and you will get (1/6). All the values need to add up to 1, so you can make the equation (1/2)+(1/6)+x=1. Solve for x and you will get (1/3).
