Parametric equations test corrections

Overall I felt that I understood this unit more than most. The book problems were a lot easier than the problems given in class, such as the Ferris wheel problem and the basketball problem. One thing I could not get was how to get the right window when graphing on the calculator.

Test corrections:
2a) I wrote my equations as x=350t, y=t and x=475(t-1.5)+250, y=t, but my y values should have equaled 1 and 2.

3f) the 45 degree angle would get the most distance (44.7 yd). I got this part but I did not state that it landed 5.3 yd from the end zone.

4) when writing the components, in the vertical component I wrote 70 twice (70cos0+70sin30), but it should have been 90sin30.
