Question
An object is thrown in the air with vertical velocity of 20 ft/s and horizontal velocity of 15 ft/s.
The object’s height can be described by the equation y (t) = −16t2+20t while the object moves horizontally with constant velocity 15 ft/s.
Write parametric equations for the object’s position, and then eliminate time to write height as a function of horizontal position.

Suppose x represents a person's bank account balance. The units of x would be dollars ($) and velocity v would give the rate at which the balance changes (in units of, for example, $/month). Acceleration would give the rate at which v changes. Suppose a person begins with one hundred dollars in the bank. Initial money management leads to no net change in the account balance so that v0 = 0. Unfortunately, management worsens over time so that a = −3.82 ✕ 102 $/month2. Assuming a is constant, find the amount of time in months until the bank account is empty. ?monthsarrow_forward
