I'm having trouble on 1b, I'm probably over thinking it. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteUse the formulas x=rcosθ and y=rsinθ. You have the x-coordinate so you can use those formulas to solve for θ and y.
DeleteFor 2e, would there only be one answer that fits in that interval?
ReplyDeleteFor 1c, would a negative answer mean the wildebeest is moving closer to the x-axis?
ReplyDeletenot necessarily

Can someone explain 1c?? How do I relate the information I'm given?
ReplyDeleteHow can I justify my answer for 2e? Suggestions?
ReplyDeleteIt's like an optimization problem. There is something changing that makes that point the farthest from the origin, and this type of point has a specific name, and there is a way to prove that the farthest point is this type of point. I hope this makes sense, it's hard to say without giving it away. It has something to do with that way we prove maximums and minimums on graphs.
DeleteIs problem 2e just like those problems where we solve for the critical points and find which is a max/min, or is there a twist to it since it deals with θ?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's the same
