A basketball player is 7 feet tall and releases the ball when his hands are 8 feet into the air at a velocity of 12 feet per second. Based on the pull of gravity, write a model to show when the ball reach the basketball hoop which is the standard regulation of 10

Period is the time it takes for one “cycle” to complete. in the parent sine function, period is 2*pi since sin(0) = 0, sin(pi/2) = 1, sin(pi) = 0, sin(3pi/2) = -1, and sin(2pi) = 0. at that point, the sequence repeats itself. i’m not sure if your graph is similar to the sine function since you didn’t provide a picture, but you can find the period by looking at a graph.

Area of circle = pi * radius^2radius is given to be 1/2 inchespi * (1/2)^2 = pi/4 inches^2 = 0.785 inches^2
