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

There are 206 bones in the body. What fraction represents the number of bones in one hand (27) compared to the total number of b
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

\frac{27}{206}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of bones in one hand

y -----> the total number of bones in the body

we know that

The fraction that represents the number of bones in one hand compared to the total number of bones in the body, is equal to divide the number of bones in one hand by the total number of bones in the body,

we have

x=27\ bones\\y=206\ bones

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{27}{206}
