The ball followed a path modelled by the equation h = −0.001! + 0.5 + 2.5 where h is the height of the ball in feet and is the h

orizontal distance in feet.
1) Represent the distance-height relationship for each player’s ball as an equation, in a table and on a graph. Record each representation and clearly label which player the information belongs to.

2) Supposed there were no obstacles.

a. Whose ball would travel the greatest distance before hitting the ground?

b. Whose ball would travel the shortest distance before hitting the ground?

3) Suppose the fence was 350 ft from home plate. At what height was each ball when it passed over the fence?

The heights the balls hit a fence at 350 ft distance are 65 feet, 38 feet and 30 feet, respectively

<h3>Represent the distance-height relationship for each player’s ball as an equation, in a table and on a graph. </h3>

<u>Juan</u>

Juan's equation is given as:

h = -0.001d^2 + 0.5d + 2.5

h =

Set d to multiples of 50 from 0 to 400.

So, the table of values of Juan's function is:

d (ft)                   h(ft)

0                          2.5

50                        25

100                      42.5

150                        55

200                      62.5

250                        65

300                      62.5

350                        65

400                      42.5

See attachment for the graph of Juan's function

<u>Mark</u>

A quadratic function is represented as:

h = ad^2 + bd + c

Using the values on the table of values, we have:

c = 3 -- the constant value

So, the equation becomes

h = ad^2 + bd + 3

Using the two other values on the table of values, we have:

23 = a(50)^2 + b(50) + 3

38 = a(100)^2 + b(100) + 3

Using a graphing tool, we have:

a = -0.001

b = 0.45

So, Mark's equation is h(d) = -0.001d^2 + 0.45d + 3

See attachment for Mark's graph.

<u>Barry</u>

From the graph, we have the table of values of Barry's function to be:

d (ft)                   h(ft)

0                          2.5

50                        21

100                      35

150                       44

200                      48

250                       46

300                      41

350                       30

400                      14

450                      0

Using a graphing tool, we have the quadratic function to be:

y = -0.001x^2 +0.4x +2.5

<h3><u>The shortest and the greatest distance before hitting the ground</u></h3>

From the graphs, equations and tables, the distance travelled by the balls are:

Juan = 505 feet

Mark = 457 feet

Barry = 450 feet

This means that Juan's ball would travel the greatest distance while Barry's ball would travel the shortest.

<h3>The height the balls hit a fence at 350 ft distance</h3>

To do this, we set d = 350

From the graphs, equations and tables, the height at 350 ft by the balls are:

Juan = 65 feet

Mark = 38 feet

Barry = 30 feet

The above represents the height the balls hit the fence

The cosine of 23° is equivalent to the sine of what angle
Archy [21]

Answer:

So 67 degrees is one value that we can take the sine of such that is equal to cos(23 degrees).

(There are more values since we can go around the circle from 67 degrees numerous times.)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a co-function identity.

The co-function of sine is cosine just like the co-function of cosine is sine.

Notice that cosine is co-(sine).

Anyways co-functions have this identity:

\cos(90^\circ-x)=\sin(x)

or

\sin(90^\circ-x)=\cos(x)

You can prove those drawing a right triangle.

I drew a triangle in my picture just so I can have something to reference proving both of the identities I just wrote:

The sum of the angles is 180.

So 90+x+(missing angle)=180.

Let's solve for the missing angle.

Subtract 90 on both sides:

x+(missing angle)=90

Subtract x on both sides:

(missing angle)=90-x.

So the missing angle has measurement (90-x).

So cos(90-x)=a/c

and sin(x)=a/c.

Since cos(90-x) and sin(x) have the same value of a/c, then one can conclude that cos(90-x)=sin(x).

We can do this also for cos(x) and sin(90-x).

cos(x)=b/c

sin(90-x)=b/c

This means sin(90-x)=cos(x).

So back to the problem:

cos(23)=sin(90-23)

cos(23)=sin(67)

So 67 degrees is one value that we can take the sine of such that is equal to cos(23 degrees).
