    Undergrad Is 5^x a Valid Term in a Polynomial?

    y=(5x^4 + 5^x -1)/(2x^3 +1) More specifically is 5^x a valid term in a polynomial?

    2D collision, both angles given, both final velocities unknown.

    X: (7)(8) = (7)V1'cos10 + (1.36)V2'cos45 Y: 0 = (7)V1'sin10 - (1.36)V2'sin45 The problem I am having is that there are still two unknowns.

    2D collision, both angles given, both final velocities unknown.

    I'm trying to figure out what formula to get started in this question: A 7kg bowling ball moving with a velocity of 8 m/s strikes a single pin of mass 1.36kg. The impact deflects the bowling ball 10 degrees from it's original path. The pin moves along a path 45 degrees from the original path...
