Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string and interfere. Waves 1 and 2 are described, respectively, by the function y1(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt) and y2(x, t) = A cos(3kx + 3ωt). The phases (arguments of the sine and cosine functions) are in radians, as usual, and A = 7.9 cm, k = 5.1 rad/m, ω = 3.2 rad/s. d. For A = 7.9 cm, k = 5.1 rad/m, and ω = 3.2 rad/s, calculate the total displacement of the string, in centimeters, at the position x = 3.8 m at time t = 8.2 s.

If a wave has a period of 8 s, and a phase angle of 180 degrees, will it be at a peak, trough, or on the X-axis 6 seconds after it is emitted? (assume Sin is our base function, so with a phase angle of 0 degrees the wave would be starting on the X-axis)
