Problem: Two waves in one string are described by the wave functions:y1 = (3.0cm) cos(4.0x-1.6t)y2 = (4.0cm) sin(5.0x-2.0t)where y and x are in centimeters and t is inseconds. Find the superposition of the waves y1+y2 at the points (a) x=1.00, t=1.00; (b) x=1.00, t=.500; and (c) x= 0.500, t=0.

At superimposition:
y1 + y2 = (3.0cm)cos(4.0x-1.6t) + (4.0cm)sin(5.0x-2.0t)
(a) At x = 1.00 and t = 1.00
