Answer: 12.0 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From the given question, we recall the following,</em>

<em>A basketball player shoots the ball with an initial velocity  = 17.1 ft/sec</em>

<em>With an angle of 45.6 degrees with the horizontal.</em>

<em>Now,</em>

<em>Let us find the initial horizontal component of the vector that represents the velocity of the ball.</em>

<em>cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse </em>

<em>Cos 45.6 degrees = 17.1 ft/sec</em>

<em>Let find the value of x</em>

<em>x = 17.1 cos 45.6 degrees= 11.96</em>

<em>To the nearest tenth is now = 12.0 ft/sec</em>

The horizontal component is:

17.1cos45.6≈11.96 so

vx=12.0 ft/sec  (to nearest tenth ft/s)
