Hello!
I was wondering if somebody could help me develop an answer to the question below.
I would like to calculate a rate of change of the following function:
θ = arctan (a * (tan β)) where "a" is a constant.
By the way, the shape of the curve -- angle alpha as a function of angle Beta --resembles an arm of a parabola. Angle Beta increases with angle alpha, but less so with increasing values.
I would like to derive a function that would describe the instantaneous rate of change at each point of that curve. It would be great if the function would say: hey, this is an arm of a parabola! :)
Unfortunately I took math a very long time ago... I believe I would
need to find the derivative of the function? Could you kindly help me out with this?
thnx
Penny
