Ancient slingshots were made form straps of leather that cradled a rock until it was released. One would spin the slingshot in a circle, and the initial path of the released rock would be a straight line tangent to the circle at the point of release. The rock will travel the greatest distance if it is release when the angle between the normal to the path and the horizontal is -45 degrees. The center of the circular path is the origin and the radius of the circle measure 1.25 feet.
Write and equation of the initial path of the rock in standard form.

Step-by-step explanatiogn:

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

step-by-step explanation:

the options are kind of confusing. i can tell you what i see going on here when i look at the graph.

the class and exam medians are closely related, and it looks like the low outlier on the exam did pull the median lower. [tex][/tex]
