    Example of Xn + Yn Limit | Help with Problem

    Please help with the following problem: Do not know where to start! Give an example of two sequences Xn(sum from 1 to infinity) and Yn(sum from 1 to infinity) where lim (as n tends to infinity) of (Xn + Yn ) exists but lim (as n goes to infinity) of(Xn +Yn) does not equal lim (as n goes to...

    What Are the Subgroups and Normal Subgroups of D4?

    Calculate all the subgroups of D_4. Which of them are normal subgroups? (It can be shown that any subgroup containing half the elements of a group G is a normal subgroup, and if a has order 2 then {e,a} is a normal subgroup iff a commutes with all elements of G.) {e,R^2} happens to be a...

    Solving for Projectile Trajectory: Monkey & Tranquilizer Problem

    Solved the first part of the problem, i.e angle=45 degrees. I realize that the tranquiliser should be fired at the monkey and not below it as the tranquiliser falls like the monkey but really need help to find the minimum velocity needed. PLEASE HELP!

    Solving for Projectile Trajectory: Monkey & Tranquilizer Problem

    If there were no gravity then the monkey would not experience an accelearation of 9.81 towards the centre of the Earth and the bullet would not fall as it flies through the air also.

    Solving for Projectile Trajectory: Monkey & Tranquilizer Problem

    Please help with the following problem: Assume a monkey let's go of a tree when a tranquiliser is fired. At what angle should the gun be pointed so that the tranquiliser hits the monkey while in free fall? Neglect size of gun and monkey. Let Xm,Ym = monkey's initial position, Vo=magnitude...
