Camille launches a model rocket in an open field near her house. The rocket has a bit of a problem, being slightly off balance. Its trajectory is described by the function y=60ln(x+1)-6x for 0 ≤ x ≤ 36.15, where y is is the rocket's height (in feet) above the ground, and x is the horizontal distance (in feet) between the launch site and a point directly below the rocket. Below is a graph of the trajectory of the rocket: (pls search this question, to see the visual on Chegg's website).

Question

A. What is the maximum height of the rocket during its flight? (I got 84.155)

B. Given that the rocket's horizontal velocity (dx/dt) is 50ft/sec when it's directly over a point 20 (horizontal) feet from the launch site, determine the rocket's vertical velocity (dy/dt) at that point. (Idk how to do this)

Answer 1

I recall seeing this same question being answered fully by oobleck.
Why are you reposting it?

Answer 2

I got it wrong. That's why I was rechecking.
