Ricardo hits a ball when it is 3 feet above the ground. The ball leaves the bat with an initial velocity of 28 ft/sec, at 55° angle. (a) Write a pair of parametric equations to simulate the motion of the ball. (Round to 3 decimal places) X = (b) Determine the rectangular equation that models the motion of the ball. * t = , y = * y = (c) What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
