Two pellets are fired simultaneously from the horizontal, one is fired vertically at 100m/s and the other is fired at 200m/s at an angle theta from the horizontal. Calculate the angle of the second pellet if they both land at the same time.

For this problem, we can look at the two pellets individually. If we find the time taken for the first bullet to reach the ground again, then we know that it must take the same time for the second bullet to ...

Given y = x^3 + 4x + 1, find the value of dy/dx when x=3

To differentiate this equation, you must bring the power of each x term down to the front and reduce the power of x by 1, with constants disappearing: dy/dx = 3 x 3-1 + (4 1)*x 1-1 = 3x 2 + 4 To find the val...
