Q. 11

Page 165

A projectile is fired from a cliff 200ftabove the water at an inclination of 45°to the horizontal, with a muzzle velocity of role="math" localid="1647357108345" 50ft/s. The height h of the projectile above the water is modeled by

hx=-32x2502+x+200

where x is the horizontal distance of the projectile from the face of the cliff.

Part (a): At what horizontal distance from the face of the cliff is the height of the projectile a maximum?

Part (b): Find the maximum height of the projectile.

Part (c): At what horizontal distance from the face of the cliff will the projectile strike the water?

Part (d): Using a graphing utility, graph the function h,0≤x≤200.

Part (e): Use a graphing utility to verify the solutions found in parts (b) and (c).

Part (f): When the height of the projectile is 100ftabove the water, how far is it from the cliff?
