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 \(71-90,\) convert the rectangular equation to polar form. Assume \(a > 0\). $$x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2}$$
Find the distance between the point and the line. Point \((2,1)\) Line \(y=x+2\)
In Exercises \(91-116\), convert the polar equation to rectangular form. $$r=3 \cos 2 \theta$$
Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. Because the graphs of the parametric equations \(x=t^{2}, y=t^{2} \quad\) and \(\quad x=t, y=t\) both represent the line \(y=x,\) they are the same plane curve.
