How to this problem. the largest variety of grasshopper in the world is found in malaysia.these grasshoppers can measure almost a foot (0.305 m) in length and can jump 4.5 m.suppose one of these grasshoppers starts at the origin of a coordinate system and makes exactly eight jumps in a straight line that makes an angle of 35° with the positive x-axis. find the grasshopper displacement along the x- and y-axis. assume both component displacements to be positive.

 draw a triangle with hypothenuse of 9*0.305 + 8*4.5m
then use Soh CAh Toa
one of the angle is 35 degrees

The graph is attached.

We first graph the point where his catch reached the surface, (35, 0).  Since it travels upward at a constant rate, the graph will be linear.  We also need to know where it starts (what depth it is at when he begins reeling it in).  We can use the formula d=rt as a template for our function.  d would be distance (in our case, depth), r is the rate (speed) and t is the amount of time.

To find how far the catch had to travel to reach the surface, we set up our equation as:
d = 0.1(35) 

This will tell us how much distance it traveled in 35 seconds.  0.1(35)=3.5, so the catch started 3.5m under water.  It then travels up at 0.1 m per second.
