(4-4) Case 1: you have two identical waves, travelling in the same direction and in-phase. This means that the peaks in one are exactly aligned with the peaks in the other. The equations describing the two waves are therefore the same:
y1 = y2 = Asin(2π(x-vt)/λ)
Deduce the expression for the superposed wave by calculating (y1 + y2) as a function of x.
What will the resultant wave look like?
