Parametric
Plot the two sets of equations below that describe the paths of
Example
two particles over time. Look at the interval between f = 0 and
i= 6.5 seconds.

Use the Numeric view to determine whether the particles ever
collide (that is, whether their paths cross at the same moment
in time). Compare the T values when X1=X2 and when Y1=Y2.
You can tell from the plot that the points of intersection are at
or near X=2 and Y=3. If T is the same at these points, then the
points collide.
NUM
Search for XI =2 and X2=2.

Xl=l.866666.

You can see that X2=2 when T=1. Use ZOOM to home in on
Xl=2.
