Recall that the flight of a projectile can be modeled with the parametric equations:
,
where t is in seconds, νo is the initial velocity, θ is the angle with the horizontal, and x and y are in feet.
A baseball is hit at an initial speed of 110 mph and angle of 31° at a height of 2 feet above the ground. If there's no back fence or other obstruction, how far does the baseball travel (horizontal distance), and what is the maximum height? Round to one decimal place.
