Guys, I'm not sure why I haven't been able to see these types of things, I see it now clear as hell but only after you two have helped me. This seems to happen often with me in calc. for example here when you took out "x/L" I didnt see this at all. Do you guys have ANY tips or tricks at all...

I end up multiplying out many different expressions with what seems to be too crazy to be part of the solution. I am not sure if I'm picking U and V properly, and I think that might be throwing me in a loop. I end up with multiple expressions, one having 18hu0x^2/L and it just doesn't seem like...

Surely, gives us the shape of the flight path, but say nothing about the speed of the airliner on that path. Begin by making the unrealistic assumption that horizontal speed is constant during the descent; that is dx/dt=u0 use the chain rule int he form dy/dt=(dy/dx)(dx/dt) to show that...

I'm stuck on how the first expression has the numerator and denominator squared tho.

I'm randomly having trouble applying the chain rule to functions (well, 1 function in particular), I was hoping someone could quickly walk me through this simple problem as I don't know where I've gone wrong. I've tried U substitution, chain/product rule, factoring answer...but I just can't see...
