Question

Four traveling waves are described by the following equations, where all quantities are measured in SI units and y represents the displacement.

      I:    y = 0.12 cos(3x + 2t)

      II:   y = 0.15 sin(6x - 3t)

      III: y = 0.23 cos(3x + 6t)

      IV: y = -0.29 sin(1.5x - t)

Which of these waves have the same speed?
