To find: the coordinates of the point
Answer to Problem 6PS
The piecewise equation of path of the ball is given by
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A golfer is trying to make a hole-in-one on the miniature golf green shown. Then golf ball is at point
Calculation:
From the diagram we can see that y-coordinate is at 8 and x-coordinate is midpoint of gold ball and hole.
Now through two known points, the equation of line passing through these points can be found
To find equation of line passing through
Now use point slope form
So,
To find equation of line passing through
Now use point slope form
So
So, piecewise equation of path of the ball is given by
