To solve the problem, we need to find the expression for the displacement \( y(x, t) \) of a particle on a string at position \( x \) and time \( t \), given the displacement at \( x = 0 \) as \( y(0, t) = \frac{2}{t^2 + 1} \) and the speed of the wave pulse as \( 2 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 1: Understand the given data We know that the wave pulse is traveling in the positive x-direction with a speed of \( v = 2 \, \text{m/s} \). The displacement at \( x = 0 \) is given by the function \( y(0, t) = \frac{2}{t^2 + 1} \). ### Step 2: Relate position and time The relationship between distance, speed, and time is given by: \[ ...
