(a)
If you got the equations, answering the last 4 questions should be no sweat.
(b)
the ball is in the air while y(t)>0.That is, solve for t when y=0.
(c)
Knowing how long it took to hit, plug that into x(t).
(d)
y(t) is just a parabola. As usual, the vertex (where the ball had maximum height) is at t = -b/2a.
(e) use that t to get y(t), the maximum height.
Can someone please help me with the last 4 questions in this paragraph?
Suppose that Tiger hit a golf ball with an initial velocity of 150 ft/sec at an angle of elevation of 30°. Write the parametric equations to represent the flight of the ball. How long is the golf ball in the air? Determine the distance the ball traveled. When is the ball at its maximum height? What is the maximum height?
