If a person shoots a basketball overhand from a position 8 feet above the floor, then the path of the basketball 2 through the hoop can be modeled by the parabola y = +1.15x+8, where v is the initial velocity of the ball in 0.434v ft/sec, y is the height of the ball and x is the distance away from the person. (a) If the basketball hoop is 10 ft high and 11 ft away, what initial velocity v should the basketball have?
