Solve for the coefficient a in the vertex form for the parabola in daredevil danny’s practice jump using key aspects from step 1. as you solve for the coefficient, explain each step of the process in detail.

Since there are no images given for the problem, i will define the parabola. a parabola is an open curve that is formed when a cone is sliced parallel to the side of it. the key aspects of a parabola when it is graphed looks like a curve that opens upward, downward, leftward or rightward. it has a latus rectum which is the length of the ends of a curved line. the directrix is the distance between the vertex of a parabola and the line. the vertex is the point where the curve ends. 

Jim has run 5/6 of a mile so far. i hope that answers your question! good luck : )
