Answer to Problem 9.7.14P
Player can hit the target at either at
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Rubber bands follows a path along
Calculation:
For player to hit the target, paths should intersect,
Multiplying both sides by
Thus, player can hit the target at either at
c.
To calculate: The coordinates at which rubber bands may hit the target and then to compare them with those calculated in part
c.
