In Exercises \(117-126\), convert the polar equation to rectangular form. Then sketch its graph. $$r=2 \sin \theta$$
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. $$A(-3,0), B(0,-2), C(2,3)$$
A quarterback releases a pass at a height of 7 feet above the playing field, and a receiver catches the football at a height of 4 feet,30 yards directly downfield. The pass is released at an angle of \(35^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. (a) Write a set of parametric equations for the path of the football. (See Exercises 93 and 94 .) (b) Find the speed of the football when it is released. (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the path of the football and approximate its maximum height. (d) Find the time the receiver has to position himself after the quarterback releases the football.
Consider a line with slope \(m\) and \(y\) -intercept \((0,4)\) (a) Write the distance \(d\) between the point \((3,1)\) 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 point and the line. (d) Is it possible for the distance to be \(0 ?\) If so, what is the slope of the line that yields a distance of \(0 ?\) (e) Find the asymptote of the graph in part (b) and interpret its meaning in the context of the problem.
Find the distance between the point and the line. Point \((-2,6)\) Line \(y=-x+5\)
