Motion along a line Two objects move along the x -axis
Chapter 4, Problem 66RE(choose chapter or problem)
Two objects move along the x-axis with position functions \(x_1(t)=2 \sin t\) and \(x_2(t)=\sin (t-\pi/2)\). At what times on the interval \([0,\ 2 \pi]\) are the objects closest to each other and farthest from each other?

QUESTION:
Two objects move along the x-axis with position functions \(x_1(t)=2 \sin t\) and \(x_2(t)=\sin (t-\pi/2)\). At what times on the interval \([0,\ 2 \pi]\) are the objects closest to each other and farthest from each other?
ANSWER:Solution Step 1 In this problem it is given that two objects move along the x-axis with position functions x 1t) = 2sin tand x 2t) = sin (t 2). we have to find at what times on the interval [0,2]does the objects are closer to each other and farther to each other.
