Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

**Section 10.6: Plane Curves and Parametric Equations**
**Problem 54:**
Tony hits a baseball at a height of 3 ft from the ground. The ball leaves his bat traveling with an initial speed of 120 ft/sec at an angle of 45° from the horizontal. Choose a coordinate system with the origin at ground level directly under the point where the ball is struck.
- **a.** Write parametric equations that model the path of the ball as a function of time \( t \) (in sec).
- **b.** When is the ball at its maximum height? Give the exact value and round to the nearest hundredth of a second.
- **c.** What is the maximum height?
- **d.** If an outfielder catches the ball at a height of 6 ft, for how long was the ball in the air after being struck? Give the exact answer and the answer rounded to the nearest hundredth of a second.
- **e.** How far is the outfielder from home plate when he catches the ball? Round to the nearest foot.
**Problem 56:**
Two planes flying at the same altitude are on a course to fly over a control tower. Plane A is 50 mi east of the tower flying 125 mph. Plane B is 90 mi south of the tower flying 200 mph. Place the origin of a rectangular coordinate system at the intersection.
- **a.** Write parametric equations that model the path of each plane as a function of the time \( t \ge 0 \) (in hr).
- **b.** Determine the times required for each plane to reach a point directly above the tower. Based on these results, will the planes crash?
- **c.** Write the distance between the planes as a function of the time \( t \).
- **d.** How close do the planes pass? Round to the nearest tenth of a mile.
**Problem 58:**
A daredevil wants to jump over a canyon on his motorcycle. He travels approximately 88 ft/sec (60 mph) at an angle of 30° when the motorcycle leaves the ramp.
