Find the distance between the point and the line. Point \((2,1)\) Line \(y=x+2\)
Path of a Softball The path of a softball is modeled by $$-12.5(y-7.125)=(x-6.25)^{2}$$ where the coordinates \(x\) and \(y\) are measured in feet, with \(x=0\) corresponding to the position from which the ball was thrown. A. Use a graphing utility to graph the trajectory of the softball. B. Use the trace feature of the graphing utility to approximate the highest point and the range of the trajectory.
In Exercises \(117-126\), convert the polar equation to rectangular form. Then sketch its graph. $$r=-3 \sin \theta$$
Consider a line with slope \(m\) and \(y\) -intercept \((0,4)\) (a) Write the distance \(d\) between the origin and the line as a function of \(m\) (b) Graph the function in part (a). (c) Find the slope that yields the maximum distance between the origin and the line. (d) Find the asymptote of the graph in part (b) and interpret its meaning in the context of the problem.
An archer releases an arrow from a bow at a point 5 feet above the ground. The arrow leaves the bow at an angle of \(15^{\circ}\) with the horizontal and at an initial speed of 225 feet per second. (a) Write a set of parametric equations that model the path of the arrow. (See Exercises 93 and 94 .) (b) Assuming the ground is level, find the distance the arrow travels before it hits the ground. (Ignore air resistance.) (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the path of the arrow and approximate its maximum height. (d) Find the total time the arrow is in the air.
