Chapter 2.4, Problem 13P

Fun with logarithms.

(a) Simplify the expression e a ln b . (That is, write it in a way that doesn’t involve logarithms.)

(b) Assuming that b a , prove that ln ( a + b ) ( ln a ) + ( b / a ) . (Hint: Factor out the a from the argument of the logarithm, so that you can apply the approximation of part (d) of the previous problem.)

Hi! I already have answers for parts A-C in this problem, but I'm having trouble with the last part (D.). Attached is the guide to answer it.  My answers for part C are: A = 0 B = (V_o cos theta)/omega C = -(mg)/k D = (V_o sin theta)/omega E = mg/k I tried substituting these coefficients to the x(t) and y(t) formulas, but I still can't reduce them to the usual projectile kinematic equations. Also, what does it mean to do a small angle approximation?   I hope you can help, thank you in advanced!
Suppose Vf(x, y) = 6y sin(xy)i + 6x sin(xy)j, F = V f(x, y), and C is the segment of the parabola y = 5x? from the point (1, 5) to (6, 180). Then F. dr =
