BASEBALL When a ball is thrown, the path it travels is a parabola. Suppose a baseball is thrown from ground level, reaches a maximum height of 15.2 meters, and hits the ground 61 meters from where it was thrown. Assuming this situation could be modeled on a coordinate plane with the focus of the parabola at the origin, find the equation of the parabolic path of the ball. Assume the focus is on ground level.

EARTHQUAKES A stadium is located about 35 kilometers west and 40 kilometers north of a city. Suppose an earthquake occurs with its epicenter about 55 kilometers from the stadium. Assume that the origin of a coordinate plane is located at the center of the city. Write an equation for the set of points that could be the epicenter of the earthquake.
