Derivatives

How do I differentiate:

theta = (x/25)(tan^(-1))

with respect to time??

Chain rule. Also, you've written it incorrectly.

Assuming x is independent of t

d(theta)/dt = 0

fix'd

It's 0. Obviously.

Inverse tangent of what?

If it's ß=(x/25)*arctan(t) which is what I'm guessing... (calling theta ß)

dß/dt = (x/25)*1/(1+t^2) + 0
           = x/(25+25t^2)

If x is x(t) then you're gonna have a dx/dt multiplier.
