I was looking back at some homework solutions I've solved earlier this term and I ran across this equation:
Δt = 2*Δx/(vf+vi)
Which seems to translate to:
Δt = Δx/vave
Is this an actual way of finding delta t? I got the answer right, but I can not understand or find where I got this...
If anybody could help, I'm up to:

fprintf('City Latitude(degrees) Longitude(degrees)\n')
C = char('LOS ANGELES','CHICAGO','CORVALLIS','MONTREAL','LONDON','BEIJING','RIO DE JANEIRO','MELBOURNE','VLADIVOSTOK','JOHANNESBURG','PUNTA ARENA','SCAMMON BAY')...
Okay, rewrote the matrices so that instead of 3, I have 5, two of which are numerical and 3 of which are alpha-numerical. Here is my new code(so far):clear

The original problem is a skier heading down an incline (sorry, confusing wording). Fapp is the headwind heading into the slope, and Force x is what I randomly assigned the force of the wind acting on the skier.
