A coach throws a football from a height of 4 feet with an initial velocity of 59 feet per second at an elevation angle of 45°. Which parametric equations represent the path of the football?

A. x(t) = 59sin(45°)t and y(t) = –16t^2 + 59cos(45°)t
B. x(t) = 59cos(45°)t and y(t) = –16t^2 + 59sin(45°)t
C. x(t) = 59cos(45°)t and y(t) = –16t^2 + 59sin(45°)t + 4
D. x(t) = 59sin(45°)t and y(t) = –16t^2 + 59sin(45°)t + 4

Answer is C. Add an answer so it won't be archived!
