Answer:
A function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is
Step-by-step explanation:
General equation of parabola in vertex form
y represents the height
x represents horizontal distance
(h,k) is the coordinates of vertex of parabola
We are given that The ball travels to a maximum height of 12 feet when it is a horizontal distance of 18 feet from the player's hands.
So,(h,k)=(18,12)
Substitute the value in equation
---1
The ball leaves the player's hands at a height of 6 feet above the ground and the distance at this time is 0
So, y = 6
So,
6=324a+12
-6=324a
Substitute the value in 1
So,
Hence a function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is
Answer:
a) The coordinates are (0.431, -2.646) and (3.568,-7.354)
b) The tangent lines are
l₁ = (x-0.431)*2/3 - 2.646
l₂ = (x-3.568)2/3 - 7.354
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets complete squares, by taking for each cordinate the square of a linear expression
0= x²−4x+y²+10y+13 = (x-2)²+ 4 + (y+5)²-25+13 = (x-2)²+(y+5)² - 8
Hence (x-2)² + (y+5)² = 8
Lets put y in function of x. We should obtain 2 functions f and g that represent the circle.
(y+5)² = 8 - (x-2)² = -x² + 4x + 4
Thus
Lets find the derivate of each function and the points in which they reach the value 2/3. In those points the tangent line will have a slope of 2/3.
We may just find the values of x which the derivate of f is either 2/3 or -2/3.
The quadratic has roots
one root is 3.568, which corresponds with g, and the other root is 0.431, corresponding to f.
Also g(3.568) = - 7.354 and f(0.431) = -2.646
This means that the coordinates are (0.431 , -2.646), (3.568 , -7.354) and the tangent lines are
l₁ = (x-0.431)*2/3 - 2.646
l₂ = (x-3.568)2/3 - 7.354
