2 - 16x 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=- distance away from the person. +1.15x+8, where v is the initial velocity of the ball in ft/sec, y is the height of the ball and x is the 0.434v (a) If the basketball hoop is 10 ft high and located 18 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 ft per sec. (Round to the nearest hundredth.)
