    Other Is Richard Courant's Intro to Calculus Enough for the USAPhO Physics Exam?

    Just going to bump this - if my question's not clear I'm just looking for a calc 1 textbook that has nice explanations. Wondering if Courant's Volume 1 hits the mark. Thanks again.

    Motorboat Ques: Gelfand Algebra 131 | Hints to Help

    So once you manipulate the equation, you get $$v_b+v_r=\dfrac{AB}{a}$$ and $$v_b-v_r=\dfrac{AB}{b}$$ Using system of equations you add the two and you get $$2v_b=AB\left(\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{b}\right)$$ and divide by two on each side and you're left with that. Thank you for helping
