Question 1083019: The distance travelled by a shot put when thrown can be calculated using the equation below where R is the range (distance thrown) in metres, x° is the launch trajectory in degrees and V is the initial velocity of the shot in metres per second. The school record for shot put is 15 metres,
R= V^2/5 x (sin x°) x (cos x°)
Stefan increased his launch velocity to 13.2 metres per second. Investigate the angles of trajectory for which he can break the school record.
