A flagpole sits at the center of a playground. Initially, a child is located 5.00 m due north of the flagpole. Two minutes later, the child is 9.00 m away from the flagpole in the direction 40.0° south of east. Using the flagpole as the origin, let +x point due east and +y point due north. What is the x-component of the child's initial position?

A physics student performed a projectile experiment. She mentioned that as the initial angle of the projectile increases from 0 to 450, the range also increases (claim 1). Maximum range is attained at 450 (claim 2). As the initial angle increases above 450, the range of the projectile decreases (claim 3). She was able to verify the first claim in her experiment. Your task is to prove claim 1, 2 and 3 mathematically.
