Question

Saw this example about transient analysis at the book Power System Analisis William D. Stevenson and I didn't understand this part shown in the picture below.

=
Example 6.8. A dc source of 120 V with negligible resistance is connected through
a switch S to a lossless transmission line having Zc 30. The line is terminated
in a resistance of 90. If the switch closes at t = 0, plot R versus time until
t = 5T, where T is the time for a voltage wave to travel the length of the line. The
circuit is shown in Fig. 6.14(a).
Solution. When switch S is closed, the incident wave of voltage starts to travel
along the line and is expressed as
v = 120U(vt - x)
Why did he use that formula if the formula shown 6.78 is a
different?
If we express a forward traveling wave, also called an incident wave, as
v=f₁(x-vt)
(6.78)
