If a person shoots a basketball overhand from a position 8 feet above the floor, then the path of the basketball through the hoop can be modeled by the parabola y=- ball in ft/sec, y is the height of the ball and x is the distance away from the person. (a) If the basketball hoop is 10 ft high and located 15 ft away, what initial velocity v should the basketball have? (b) What is the maximum height of the basketball? (a) The initial velocity of the basketball should be approximately 23.32 ft per sec. (Round to the nearest hundredth.) (b) The maximum height of the basketball is approximately ft. (Round to the nearest hundredth.) -16x² 0.434v² ..... +1.15x+8, where v is the initial velocity of the
