Equation for parabola

Using this equation to find the equation  for  parabola

y=a(x-54) (x+54)

y(0)=a(-54) (54)=6

-2916a=6

Divide both side by y6a

a=-2916/6

a=-486

Equation for parabola

y=-1/486 x² +6

Height of the arc 5 feet

When x=5

y=-25/486+6

y=2891/486

=5 461/486 feet

Therefore the Equation for parabola is y=-1/486 x² +6 and the height of the arc 5 feet is: 5 461/486 feet.
