Ross–Fahroo lemma

Okay kiddo, let me explain something called the Ross-Fahroo Lemma. Imagine you have a really fancy car that you want to drive as fast as possible without crashing. To do that, you need to control your speed and your movements really well.

The Ross-Fahroo Lemma can help you do this. It's like a magic formula that tells you how to control your car so you can drive super fast but also be safe.

Now let's talk about what this formula actually does. It helps you find the best way to move your car based on what you want to do. Just like how you can use math to figure out how much candy you can buy with a certain amount of money.

In the case of the Ross-Fahroo Lemma, you use it to figure out how to move your car so that you can get to your destination as fast as possible without crashing.

It's pretty cool, huh? But just like how you need to know how to do math before you can buy candy, you need to know some complicated stuff about physics and calculus before you can use the Ross-Fahroo Lemma. But don't worry, you've got plenty of time to learn all that!
