A golfball is hit from the ground with an initial velocity of 200 ft/sec. The horizontal distance that the golfball will travel,

D in feet, depends on the angle in which it is hit, in radians, according to the function: Find the absolute maximum of on the applied interval [0, π/2] using the Closed Interval Method, and interpret the result in the context of the problem using a full sentence with units.

Answer:

The golfball launched with an initial velocity of 200ft/s will travel the maximum possible distance which is 1250 ft when it is hit at an angle of \pi/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula from the maximum distance of a projectile with initial height h=0, is:

d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2\theta)}{g}

Where v_i is the initial velocity.

In the closed interval method, the first step is to find the values of the function in the critical points in the interval which is [0, \pi/2]. The critical  points of the function are those who make d'(\theta)=0:

d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\d'(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2\cos(2\theta)}{g}*(2)\\d'(\theta)=\frac{2v_i^2\cos(2\theta)}{g}

d'(\theta)=0\\\frac{2v_i^2\cos(2\theta)}{g}=0\\\cos(2\theta)=0\\2\theta=\pi/2,3\pi/2,5\pi/2,...\\\theta=\pi/4,3\pi/4,5\pi/4,...

The critical value inside the interval is \pi/4.

d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2(\pi/4))}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{v_i^2sin(\pi/2)}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{v_i^2(1)}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{(200)^2}{32}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{40000}{32}\\d(\pi/4)=1250ft

The second step is to find the values of the function at the endpoints of the interval:

d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\theta=0\\d(0)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2(0))}{g}\\d(0)=\frac{v_i^2(0)}{g}=0ft\\\theta=\pi/2\\d(\pi/2)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2(\pi/2))}{g}\\d(\pi/2)=\frac{v_i^2sin(\pi)}{g}\\d(\pi/2)=\frac{v_i^2(0)}{g}=0ft

The biggest value of f is gived by \pi/4, therefore \pi/4 is the absolute maximum.

In the context of the problem, the golfball launched with an initial velocity of 200ft/s will travel the maximum possible distance which is 1250 ft when it is hit at an angle of \pi/4.

Sphinxa [80]

It would be C.

For example, say 1 person comes. This would be x=1. Plugging this in gives you,

y=0.5 + 1.3

This shows that C is true since x is always going to be multiplied by 0.5.

1.3 would be the base amount of time it takes to arrange since if it the y-intercept.
