<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AB^2=AC^2+BC^2$

we have

$AB=17\ units\\AC=8\ units$

substitute the given values

$17^2=8^2+BC^2$

solve for BC

$289=64+BC^2\\BC^2=289-64\\BC^2=225\\BC=15\ units$

Leokris [45]

Answer:

V0 = 48 feet per second is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function which represents height of a golf ball in feet after x seconds after a player hits it.

y = -16x² + v0x

here v0 is the initial velocity and we have to calculate initial velocity. The ball returns to the ground 3 seconds after it is hit.

After 3 seconds height of the ball will be 0.

Now from the given function

0 = -16(3)² + v0×3

3v = 16×9

v0 = 16×9/3 = 48 feet per second.
