Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Chapter 7.2, Problem 15P

As in Problem 14, the displacements x of two simple pendulums are x = − 2 cos ( t / 2 ) and 3 sin ( t / 3 ) . They are not together at t = 0 ; plot graphs to see when they are first together.

3. A plane travelling at an altitude of 20,000 feet passes directly overhead at time t = 0. One minute later, you observe that the angle between the vertical and your line of sight to the plane is 1.14 radians, and that this angle is changing at a rate of 0.38 radians/minute. Calculate the velocity of the airplane in miles per hour.
