3. A skateboarder goes off of a ramp at a speed of 52ft./s. The ramp is 5ft. above the ground with a 30° angle of elevation. Which set of parametric equations represents the skater's jump? The acceleration due to gravity is 32ft./s^2.
A. x=26√3t+5 and y=-16t^2+26t+5
B. x=36√3t and y=-16t^2+26t+5
C. 26t+5 and y=-16t^2+26√3t+5
D. 26√3t and y=-16t^2+26t

For part 1 the equation y = -x +1 and orientation is down to the right and for part 2 the equation 1=x^2/4+y^2/16; an ellipse with vertical major axis

What are parametric equations?

A parametric equation in mathematics specifies a set of numbers as functions of one or more independent variables known as parameters.

1) We have parametric equations x = t - 1 and y = -t + 2

After converting from parametric to Cartesian form, we will get:

y = -x +1 and orientation is down to the right

2) For parametric equations, x = 2cost and y = 4sint

In the Cartesian form:

[tex]\rm 1=\dfrac{x^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{16}[/tex]

With vertical major axis

Similarly, we can get parametric equations represents the skater's jump.

Thus, for part 1 the equation y = -x +1 and orientation is down to the right and for part 2 the equation 1=x^2/4+y^2/16; an ellipse with vertical major axis.
