Place the origin of the coordinate system on the ground level under at the vertex of the parabola, i.e. under the top point of the arc. Let x be horizontal axis and y be the vertical axis, directed up. Then the equation of the parabola is y = -ax^2 + 15. Then the span of the parabola is from x = -90 m to x= 90 m. Hence, y = 0 =, or a*90^2 = 15, a = = = = . Thus the equation of the parabola is y = . ANSWER
