Chapter 1.3, Problem 57E
A ship is at a speed of 30km/h parallel to a straight shoreline. The ship is 6 km from shore and it passes a lighthouse at noon
(a) Express the distance s between the lighthouse and the ship as a function of d, the distance the ship has traveled since noon; that is, find f so that s =f(d).
(b) Express d as a function of t, the time elapsed since noon; that is, find g so that d = q(t).
(c) Find f ◦ g. What does this function represent?
