Below are the motions of the Chicken and
the Worm.
The Worm has parametric equations x=3t, y=-t+8,
0≤t≤4.
The Chicken has parametric equations x=t+7,
y=t2+1,
0≤t≤4.
The animation is from t=0 to t=4 seconds. You can watch the timeline
below the graph. Although their paths intersect, they do not collide. When are
the Chicken and the Worm at the point of
intersection of their paths? The animation will repeat.
