Multiple Choice
At time t = 0 seconds, a hockey puck is headed towards the "board" (the wall around the perimeter of the area of play) as shown in the figure (the view is from above the playing surface) . At that same instant, a hockey player at a different position on the ice is headed straight up the ice in order to intercept the puck (see figure) . The trajectories of the puck and the player are described by the following set of parametric equations:
Find the location(s) of intersection of the trajectories of the player and the puck. Distances are in feet and time is in seconds.
