A placekicker is about to kick a field goal. The ball is 25.3 m from the goalpost. The ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 20.8 m/s at an angle θ above the ground. Between what two angles, θ₁ and θ₂, will the ball clear the 2.86-m-high crossbar? Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identities may be useful:
sec θ = 1/(cos θ) and sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ.)

Please help, I don't understand how to answer this question.

Activity 1: How far can a soccer player kick a soccer ball down field? Through the application of a linear function and a quadratic function and ignoring wind and air resistance one can describe the path of a soccer ball. These functions depend on two elements that are within the control of the player: velocity of the kick (v k ) and angle of the kick (?). A skilled high school soccer player can kick a soccer ball at speeds...

1. A soccer player will kick a ball 80 times during practice. Assume that the kicks are independent of each other, and the probability that he scores is 0.6 (60% chance that the ball goes into the goalpost and 40% chance that the ball does not go into the goalpost). Let X be the number of successful goals (number of scores) out of the 80 kicks. (a) What is the distribution of X? (b) Write the pmf f(x) and name...
