At t = 0, a transverse wave pulse in a wire is described by the function: y=6x2+3 where x and y are in meters. Write the function y=(x,t) that describes this wave if it is traveling in the positive x-direction with speed of 5m/s.

Solution
The correct option is By=6(x−5t)2+3 The wave is traveling in positive x-direction with a speed of 5 m/s.
Replacing x→(x−vt)=(x−5t), we get y=6(x−5t)2+3.
