Answer:

The position of David Beckham is at (2,0) and the position of the garbage can is (38,0). Note that these two points would be the roots of the parabola we are going to draw.

Now since we have the roots, we can construct the equation of the parabola as


-a(x-2)(x-38)

where a is a constant.

We choose a = 0.05 and get


-0.05(x-2)(x-38)
