A ball is hit at an angle [tex]\theta[/tex] to the horizontal, from the base of a hill [tex]\phi[/tex] degrees in incline. The ball strikes the hill at a horizontal distance [tex]x[/tex] measured from the launch point. Determine the value of [tex]\theta[/tex] that will result in the largest possible value of [tex]x[/tex].
well i started out finding the vertical displacement to be [tex]x\tan\phi[/tex]
then i put that in the basic [tex]S_{y} = V_{i}sin\theta t + \frac{1}{2}-9.8t^2[/tex] of corse [tex]S_{y} = xtan\phi[/tex]. now i am stumped on what to do. please help!
