4 Points DETAILS The cup on the 9th hole of a golf course is located dead center in the middle of a circular green which is 40 feet in radius Your ball is located as in the picture below The ball follows a straight line path and exits the green at the right most edge Assume the ball travels 9 ft sec Introduce coordinates so that the cup is the origin of an xy coordinate system Provide numerical answers below with two decimal places of accuracy 50 feet green ball 40 feet 9 cup smallest x coordinate largest x coordinate ball pathi rough a The x coordinate of the position where the ball enters the green will be MY NOTES seconds after it is hit b The ball will exit the green exactly c Suppose that L is a line tangent to the boundary of the golf green and parallel to the path of the ball Let Q be the point where the line is tangent to the circle Notice that there are two possible positions for Q Find the possible x coordinates of Q
