A dolphin jumps from the water with an initial velocity of 44 feet per second at an elevation angle of 60°. Which parametric equations model the dolphin’s path through the air?

x(t) = sin(60°)t + 44 and y(t) = –16t2 + cos(60°)t + 44
x(t) = cos(60°)t + 44 and y(t) = –16t2 + sin(60°)t + 44
x(t) = 44sin(60°)t and y(t) = –16t2 + 44cos(60°)t
x(t) = 44cos(60°)t and y(t) = –16t2 + 44sin(60°)t

Answer 1
