Does anyone know how to find the answer to this problem?
A television camera at ground level is filming the lift-off of a space shuttle that is rising according to the formula s=60t^2, where s is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds. The camera is 2000 feet from the launchpad. Find the rate of change in the angle of elevation of the television camera (d angle/dt) 10 seconds after liftoff.
I'd like to see a step by step answer to this one. I'll admit it. I'm lost.
Any calculus gurus around now?
