A batter hits a baseball that is caught by a fielder. If the ball leaves the bat at an angle of \(\theta\) radians to the horizontal, with an initial velocity of \(v\) feet per second, then the approximate horizontal distance \(d\) traveled by the ball is given by $$ d=\frac{v^{2} \sin \theta \cos \theta}{16} $$ (a) Use an identity to show that $$ d=\frac{v^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{32} $$ (b) If the initial velocity is \(115 \mathrm{ft} /\) second, what angle \(\theta\) will produce the maximum distance? [Hint: Use part (a). For what value of \(\theta \text { is } \sin 2 \theta \text { as large as possible? }]\) (figure cannot copy)
