A plane from Denver, Colorado, (altitude 1650 meters)flies to Bismark, North Dakota (altitude 550 meters). Ittravels at 650 km/hour along a horizontal line at 8,000meters above the line joining Denver and Bismark. Bismarkis about 850 km in the direction 60 north of eastfrom Denver. Find parametric equations describing theplanes motion. Assume the origin is at sea level beneathDenver, that the x-axis points east and the y-axis pointsnorth, and that the earth is flat.
