Isaac Physics A Vertical Throw

I've been having some issues with Part F. I've tried integrating the function v = V tan(t/T - t_f/T) as determined in previous parts, and I've applied the boundary conditions to get x= -VT ln(cos(t/T - t_f/T)) + VT ln(cos(-t_f/T)), but when i input this, the answer is incorrect. Does the answer need to be given in a specific form, or am i missing something?

Try to factor oit the term -VT (is minus VT) and combine the 2 ln term as 1 single ln term.

Can you help a little more as I tried x(t)=VTln(cos((t_f)/T)/(cos((t-t_f)/T))) a few times still it’s not working?

I recommend that you contact Isacc Physics via the website to notify them. If you want to get them marked correctly, see OP expression and factor out -VT from the expression.
