solution

Use a for loop to plot the function given in Problem 16 over the interval −2 ≤ x ≤ 6. Properly label the plot.

The variable y represents height in kilometers, and the variable x represents time in seconds. The (x, y) coordinates of a certain object as a function of time t are given by

for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4. Write a program to determine the time at which the object is the closest to the origin at (0, 0).

Determine also the minimum distance. Do this in two ways:

a. By using a for loop.

b. By not using a for loop.
