I need a name for a type of person who is stubborn.

Like a caregiver is giving, rebels stuggle against the status quo, and a jester finds humor in any situation. I can't think of a word for a person who is stubborn.

Help please?

So the question goes like this:
A TV camera at ground level is filming the liftoff of a space shuttle that is rising vertically according to the position eqn: s(t)=50t^2, where s is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds. The camera is 2000 feet from the launch pad.

Find the velocity of the space shuttle when it is 5000ft high.
[[I did this already, and I got 1000 ft/s. I know that it is right.]]

Find the rate of change in the angle of elevation of the camera when the space shuttle is 5000 ft. high.
[[I can't figure this one out for the life of me. I think it has something to do with inverse tangent, and with the previous anwser (1000 ft/sec).]]

If you can solve this, you're my hero and a freaking genius!!

The system needs to be solved
5x-2y=-8
4x-3y=-19
I know the answer is (2,9) but I need to know how to solve it. I tried to use substitution and elimination but I kept getting weird fractions. I'm sure it's simple but I'm just not seeing it and need step by step logical steps. is substitution/elimination a sound method of solving this system?
