A glider's lift and drag coefficients are modeled as functions of the angle of attack alpha\\alpha (in radians) by CL=5alphaC_L = 5\\alpha and CD=0.02+0.1alpha2C_D = 0.02 + 0.1\\alpha^2. The glide ratio is defined as fracLD=fracCLCD\\frac{L}{D} = \\frac{C_L}{C_D}. What angle of attack alpha\\alpha maximizes the glide ratio?
