A gun can fire shells with maximum speed $v_0$ and the maximum horizontal range that can be achieved is $R_{max} = \frac {v_0^2}{g}$.  If a target farther away by distance $\Delta x$ (beyond $R$) has to be hit with the same gun, show that it could be achieved by raising the gun to a height at least $h = \Delta x\,\left[ {1 + \frac{{\Delta x}}{R}} \right]$.
