Practice problem
Equation of a Circle
It's time to play golf! Unfortunately for you, it's a windy day and the first hole of the course has a water hazard.
You place down your tee and analyze the surroundings, trying to determine whether you will hit your ball in the water. You place your tee on the line yards, and predict that hitting the ball with your driver will cause the ball's path to follow the parabola
The lake you are trying to avoid has equation
To avoid landing in it, you try to move your tee upward (along the line ). If the trajectory of the ball is such that it will always land when what is the location you should place your tee if you want to avoid the lake by moving the tee upward along the line as little distance as possible?
