Understand the Advantages of Parametric Representations
-A baseball pitcher throws a baseball with an initial velocity of 126 feet per second at an angle of $20 ^ { \circ }$ to the horizontal. The ball leaves the pitcher's hand at a height of 5 feet. Find parametric equations that describe the motion of the ball as a function of time. How long is the ball in the air? When is the ball at its maximum height? What is the maximum height of the ball?
