The points represent the vertices of a triangle. (a) Draw triangle \(A B C\) in the coordinate plane, (b) find the altitude from vertex \(B\) of the triangle to side \(A C,\) and \((\mathrm{c})\) find the area of the triangle. $$A(1,1), B(2,4), C(3,5)$$
Find the distance between the parallel lines. (Graph can't copy) $$\begin{aligned} &3 x-4 y=1\\\ &3 x-4 y=10 \end{aligned}$$
A projectile is launched at a height of \(h\) feet above the ground at an angle of \(\theta\) with the horizontal. The initial velocity is \(v_{0}\) feet per second, and the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations $$x=\left(v_{0} \cos \theta\right) t$$ and $$y=h+\left(v_{0} \sin \theta\right) t-16 t^{2}.$$ Use a graphing utility to graph the paths of a projectile launched from ground level at each value of \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) and \(v_{0} .\) For each case, use the graph to approximate the maximum height and the range of the projectile. (a) \(\theta=60^{\circ}, \quad v_{0}=88\) feet per second (b) \(\theta=60^{\circ}, \quad v_{0}=132\) feet per second (c) \(\theta=45^{\circ}, \quad v_{0}=88\) feet per second (d) \(\theta=45^{\circ}, \quad v_{0}=132\) feet per second
Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. A line that has an inclination greater than \(\pi / 2\) radians has a negative slope.
Consider the path of a projectile projected horizontally with a velocity of \(v\) feet per second at a height of \(s\) feet, where the model for the path is $$x^{2}=-\frac{v^{2}}{16}(y-s)$$ In this model (in which air resistance is disregarded), \(y\) is the height (in feet) of the projectile and \(x\) is the horizontal distance (in feet) the projectile travels. A ball is thrown from the top of a 100 -foot tower with a velocity of 28 feet per second. A. Find the equation of the parabolic path. B. How far does the ball travel horizontally before striking the ground?
