I've got to use this formula to investigate the angles which produce the maximum range as the height of projection increases. I've done that for varying angles and obviously the launch angle decreases as the height of projection increases. However, the assignment asks whether as the height approaches infinity, if there is a limiting value for the angle which produces maximum range.

I have been unable to see this through trial and error :burn: and my teacher hasn't gone through this explicitly. If anyone can provide further assistance it would be greatly appreciated.:)
