Question 8 [7] Amy, an enthusiastic basketball player, is practising her shooting.

B A

She throws from a point 1,7m from the floor. Each throw follows the path of a parabola. On one of her throws, the ball reaches its maximum height of 3,1625m when it has covered a horizontal distance of 3m. Unfortunately the ball does not go into the basket but hits the rim which is 3m above the floor. Determine how far Amy's hand is from the front of the rim at the moment she releases the ball (i.e. the length of AB).
