Question

If a person shoots a basketball overhand from a position 8 feet above the​ floor, then the path of the basketball through the hoop can be modeled by the parabola:

y = - 16x^2/0.434v^2 + 1.15x + 8y, where v is the velocity of the ball in​ ft/sec, y is the height of the hoop and x is the distance away from the hoop.

​(a) If the basketball hoop is 10 ft high and located 17 ft​ away, what initial velocity v should the basketball​ have?
​(b) What is the maximum height of the​ basketball?
