Let V be the set of all ordered triples of real numbers. For u = (u1, u2, u3) and v = (v1, v2, v3), we define the following operations of addition and scalar multiplication on V :
u + v = (u1 + v1, u2 + v2 − 1, u3 + v3 − 2) and ku = (ku1, ku2, ku3).
For example, if u = (1, 0, 3), v = (2, 1, 1), and k = 2 then
u + v = (1 + 2, 0 + 1 − 1, 3 + 1 − 2) = (3, 0, 2) and 2u = (2 · 1, 2 · 0, 2 · 3) = (2, 0, 6).

You are looking at a hot air balloon that sinks vertically at a speed of 4.5 m / s.
You stand a horizontal distance A from the point in the ground where the balloon will land.
You choose how far away you are. For calculations, you can choose a distance between 100 m and 700 m from the balloon landing site.
There is a straight line between you and the top of the balloon that forms an angle θ with the ground. The ground is horizontal.
Calculate how fast this angle decreases when the balloon is at a 200 m above the starting point.
