Ariel claims that a pulse is described by the equation     where x and y are measured in cm and t in s. Miranda says that it is not possible to represent a pulse with this function because a wave must be a function of x + vt or x?vt. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?

A.

Ariel, because x2- 6.0xt + 9t2 = (x- 3.0t)2.

B.
Ariel, because a pulse is not an infinite wave.

C.
Miranda, because (x- 3.0t)2 is the same as (3.0t- x)2.

D.
Miranda, because a pulse is not an infinite wave.

E.
Miranda, because is infinite when x = 0.
