Laplacian:
xy+yx=17 and x+y=5, using modular arithmetic, and letting # denote "congruent to" we have;
xy # 17 (mod y) and
x # 5 (mod y)
hence; 5y # 17 (mod y). Since y is relatively prime to 5 and 17, we have, by Fermat's Little Theorem,
5y # 5 # 17 (mod y), hence, 12 # 0 (mod y), so y is a positive divisor of 12 and is less than 5, the only candidate are
y= 2 or 3 or 4, same argument goes for x since the equation is symetrical. So,
x= 2, or 3, or 4 and
y=2, or 3, or 4.
Suppose x<y, then, 2x<x+y=5 hence x<2.5. If x is less than x then x=2 and hence, from y=5-x, y=3
another angle of attack, that's cool

come on man! Chill!

Only one major thing brings Igbo to Lagos: the Ports.

The Igbos achieved success almost solely, without the help of the government. You sell your lands to the Igbos at exorbitant prices, they pay.

Politics is a game of numbers. Yorubas are more populous in Lagos. They shouldnt feel threatened.

Just unfortunate that Agbaje is now tainted as an Igbo ethnic politician! Imagine him promising to make an Eze Igbo a First Class Chief in Lagos. Except he was deceiving the Igbo he should know that The Igbo are a fiercely Republican and autonomous people who will not accept the overlordship of a single person as Eze all over Lagos Igbo- confusion will ensue! Just wondering how much of Igbo he can speak - in case he needs to try making a run for Governorship in any of the eastern states!
Shame to the apostles of ethnic politics playing us against one another! Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa et al are Nigerians who deserve to vote and be voted for ANYWHERE in the country.
It remains to be said however that it is an unreasonable and unfair thing to do to hit your host community under the belt by playing the ethnic card in election time when you have not been discriminated against in enjoying the dividend of democracy! The obvious attempt by Igbos at doing so in this elections is unfortunate and will only serve a notice on the Yoruba to be wary of the Igbo as a people nursing an agenda to take over their host community. The Igbo must consciously set out to put the Yoruba (their hosts in Lagos) at ease by correcting that impression.
you just spewed trash, tripe and balderdash. Who drew the first blood? Is it not Oba Akiolu?

How can you threaten a tribe that you'll shove them inside the Lagoon?

Anyways, fear ye not, Igbos are a measerly 5% of Lagos population. Don't you think so?

I can't agree less. There is every possibility that Prof Osinbajo will become the president. The Southwest (and to some extent MiddleBelt) APC senators can even gang up with the PDP senators (from the South) to impeach Buhari if he messes up so that Prof can take over.

There's also the issue of health. I wish Buhari longlife though.

We are looking for the initial velocity which means the object has been stationary, hence, it implies that velocity=zero.


We are already given the angle as 75o. What other angles are you suggesting forhuh
Our aim is to find the initial velocity not --the lesser of two angles.


That's my solution anyway. Bring forth your possible solution probably we may get convinced.

the catapult was held at 1.5m above the ground means it is 28.5m below the bird vertically.
the poacher is 25m from the tree horizontally
we have a right angled triangle with 28.5m as the opposite and 25m as the adjascent, and the path taken by the catapult is the hypotenuse
x^2 = 25^2 + 28.5^2
x^2 =1437.25
x=37.911m
duration of shot = 37.911/40=0.955s
tan theta = 28.5/25

Think about you throwing me a stone at a fixed distance.
If you want the stone to hit me hard, you must throw it directly at me. If you threw it in a parabolic form in the sense that it went up and on coming down it hit me, believe me, it is not going to be painful as the previous.
NB:
-This distance between us doesn't determine how painful it will be to me.
-what determines it is the height of where I am which will prompt the angle of elevation.
I hope you get the analogy.
well, I think for each hit, there are two firing angles (as long as the firing angle isnt 45degrees) namely theta and 90-theta. I also think the question was asking for the lesser of the two since the greater of the two will make the particle spend longer time in the air.
tohero:
Using the formula v2 = u2+2gh
Where
v=0 ,
g=-9.8m/s2
h= 50 - 1.8 = 48.2m
Vertical component of the initial velocity = u sinA
Where A=75o.

Then the formula bcoms
02 = u2sin275o - 2*9.8*48.2

That is
19.6*48.2 = u2sin275o

Calculator should finish this.
why did you set v=0? Are you assuming the height to be the maximum height? It wasn't given like that nah. What do you think?
