Nice! Now you have one more formula to refer to if you ever need it in the HSC.

I will probably post another projectile motion proof tomorrow (it won't be too hard).

anyone wanna give this question a go?, idk how to solve it properly,
Question: Consider a curve in the first quadrants. The tangent at any point P cuts the x-axis at Q. Given that OP=PQ, where O is the origin, and that the point (1,4) lies on the curve, find the equation of the curve

That might be a quadratic form equation. I will have a further look into it tomorrow (can't really think right now).

its confusing me, all I was able to do was fprime(1)=-4/3, I can't seem to find the curve tho

I was thinking of using average gradients and instantaneous gradients in some ways. I will dive into it further tomorrow.

Spent half an hour trying to do this, and half an hour trying to decipher your solution, only to realise OP=PQ and not OP=OQ.
The lesson learnt: don’t do math tired, it wastes time…
