Solution

(a)

To find: Write an equation that models the path of the basketball.

The required equation of the given data is −17.4306sec2θ+tanθ41.75−4=0

Given information:

It is given that the distance from half court to the point below 10-foot-high basketball rim is 41.75 feet. The ball is released 6 feet high when initial velocity is 40 feet per second.

The path of the object that is projected with initial height of h0 feet and initial velocity v with initial angle θ is given by:

  y=−16v2cos2θx2+tanθx+h0

Here y is vertical height which is given 10 feet. x is the horizontal distance given 41.75 feet.

The initial velocity v=40 and initial height h0=6 is given.

Substitute all the given value in the equation y=−16v2cos2θx2+tanθx+h0 gives:

  10=−16402cos2θ41.752+tanθ41.75+6

Simplify the above equation:

  10=−161600cos2θ1743.06+tanθ41.75+610−6=−1100cos2θ1743.06+tanθ41.754=−17.4306cos2θ+tanθ41.754=−17.4306sec2θ+tanθ41.75−17.4306sec2θ+tanθ41.75−4=0

This is the required equation of the given data.

(b)

To find: Find the value of θ for equation in part (a) .

A person can throw a half-court shot at θ=1.0265+nπ   ,0.640+nπ .

Given information:

The equation found in part a is :

  −17.4306sec2θ+tanθ41.75−4=0

Solve the equation to find the value of θ .

Divide the equation by sec2θ :

  −17.4306+sinθcosθ41.75−4cos2θ=0−17.4306+2sinθcosθ41.752−4cos2θ=0−17.4306+sin2θ20.875−4cos2θ=0

Solving the equation gives the angles:

  θ=1.0265+nπ   ,0.640+nπ

(c)

To find: What assumption will be made if the ball is thrown from one of the angle found in part (b)

It can be said that if initial height is 0 and with this angle the ball travelled horizontal distance of 1.790 feet.

Given information:

The angle found in part

(b) are θ=1.0265+nπ   ,0.640+nπ .

If the ball is thrown at the angle θ=1.0265+nπ and initial height h0=0 then the equation becomes:

  x=v232sin2θ

When n=1,  θ=1.036+π

  θ=1.036+180θ=181.026

Substitute θ=181.026  ,v=40

  x=(40)232sin2181.026x=1600320.0358x=500.0358x=1.790

It can be said that if initial height is 0 and with this angle the ball travelled horizontal distance of 1.790 feet.
