A long fly ball strikes the wall at point A (where  e₁= 0.5) and then hits the ground at B (where e₂ = 0.3). The outfielder likes to catch the ball when it is 4ft above the ground and 2ft in front of him as shown. Determine the distance x from the wall where he can catch the ball as described. Note the two possible solutions.
