    Max Height & Velocity of a Vertical Ball: Calculus Math Problem Solution

    If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 72 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s(t)=64t-16t^2. 1. What is the maximum height reached by the ball? Explain why this location is the maximum using the derivative as part of your answer. 2. find the velocity of the ball right...

    Calculus - derivatives of xtan(x)

    That's what I don't get how to do... The second derivative. I'm assuming I have the first derivative done right. I'm lost after that.

    Calculus - derivatives of xtan(x)

    Find the first and second derivative--simplify your answer. y=x tanx I solved the first derivative. y'=(x)(sec^2(x)) +(tanx)(1) y'=xsec^2(x) +tanx I don't know about the second derivative though.
