A golf ball is hit at angle θ to the horizontal, with initial velocity u. Stating an assumption, show that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is directly proportional to u^2.

If we assume there is no air resistance, this means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity won't change. Resolving horizontally we can see that the horizontal velocity = ucos(θ). We can ...

Given that y = x^4 tan(2x), find dy/dx

Here we have a product of two functions - they are being multiplied together - so we need to use the product rule. The product rule is: if y = u·v, dy/dx = v·u' + u·v' (where f' stands for df/dx). u = x^4...

(2 + x)  = 2(1 + 0.5x) 5

Then, it is a good idea to qu...
