The path that Gloria follows when she jumped is a path of parabola.

The equation of the parabola  that describes the path of her jump is \mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Height = 20}

\mathbf{Length = 28}

<em>Assume she starts from the origin (0,0)</em>

The midpoint would be:

\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times Length}

\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times 28}

\mathbf{Mid = 14}

So, the vertex of the parabola is:

\mathbf{Vertex = (Mid,Height)}

Express properly as:

\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}

A point on the graph would be:

\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}

The equation of a parabola is calculated using:

\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}

Substitute \mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)} in \mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}

\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}

Substitute \mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)} in \mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}

\mathbf{0 = a(28 - 14)^2 + 20}

\mathbf{0 = a(14)^2 + 20}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{a(14)^2 =- 20}

Solve for a

\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{14^2}}

\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{196}}

Simplify

\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}

Substitute \mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}} in \mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}

\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}

Hence, the equation of the parabola  that describes the path of her jump is \mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}

See attachment for the graph

Estimate what is 130% of 20. Show work please! I need the right answer!
aksik [14]
26 would 130% of 26%. 

20 would be 100% of itself leading us to X being 130%. 
That brings us to two equations of 20=100% and x=130%
20/x=100%/130%

20/x=100/130
(20/x)*x=(100/130)*x
20=0.769230769231*x
26/0.769230769231=x
26=x therefor x=26
