Math Problem Statement

with equations 𝑥= 𝑡/2 and 𝑦= −√𝑡+5, 0 ≤𝑡 ≤8,  

create a table with 4 columns, list: t from 0 to 8, x, y, and (x,y) 

Solution

Here is the table with the values of tt, xx, yy, and the corresponding pairs (x,y)(x, y):

\hline t & x & y & (x, y) \\ \hline 0 & 0.0 & 5.000 & (0.0, 5.0) \\ 1 & 0.5 & 4.000 & (0.5, 4.0) \\ 2 & 1.0 & 3.586 & (1.0, 3.5858) \\ 3 & 1.5 & 3.268 & (1.5, 3.2679) \\ 4 & 2.0 & 3.000 & (2.0, 3.0) \\ 5 & 2.5 & 2.764 & (2.5, 2.7639) \\ 6 & 3.0 & 2.551 & (3.0, 2.5505) \\ 7 & 3.5 & 2.354 & (3.5, 2.3542) \\ 8 & 4.0 & 2.172 & (4.0, 2.1716) \\ \hline \end{array}$$ Would you like any further details or explanations? Here are some related questions you might consider: 1. How do these values change if we adjust the range of $$t$$? 2. What is the behavior of $$y$$ as $$t$$ approaches 0 and 8? 3. Can you plot the graph of $$(x, y)$$? 4. How can you calculate the rate of change of $$x$$ and $$y$$ with respect to $$t$$? 5. What is the physical meaning if these were time-based equations? **Tip:** When working with square root functions like $$y = -\sqrt{t} + 5$$, remember that the domain of $$t$$ must ensure the value inside the square root is non-negative.
