- Wait patiently for a helper to come along.

- If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:
,w graph 1+sin(5x)
yes
dy/dt = 0
BUT
the slope is zero at the maxima and the minima both
so it might lead you to the point it touches the water too
should i include that point
for example, when i find all values of t
and if one of the values of t is the value that the stone sinks
do i include that t value?
because i got t = pi/10, 3pi/10, 5pi/10 and 7pi/10
but 7pi/10 was my answer for q1
@keen moss have you alr found when the stone sinks?
then just sieve out the values of when it doesn't sink
that's your max height.
yeah
the stone sinks at y = 1 + sin(5t)
sin(5t) = -1
so 5t = 3pi/2 + 2pik
t = (3pi + 4pi*k)/10
the first time it touches the pond is at k = 0, so 3pi/10
the second time is at k = 1, so 7pi/10
so it sinks at both 7pi/10 and travels horizontally at 7pi/10
so idk if i should include that value or not
so i am confused, what is this supposed to show?
the y slope SUPPOSEDLY zero at a lot o places
take y as 0
0 = 1+sin(5t)
-1 = sin(5t)
1 = sin(-5t)
pi/2 + 2npi = -5t
(-2n-1/2)pi/5 = t
find the second smallest value of t where n is an integer
hmmmmm
7pi/10 huh
ok
for b
i think its dy/dt = dx/dt = 0
inverse.
5 + 5sin(5t) = 0
sin(5t) = -1
-5t = 2npi + pi/2
-pi(2n+1/2)/5 = t
again 7pi/10
huh
