The Principle of Superposition of Waves states that the resultant displacement of a number of waves in a medium at a particular point is the vector sum of the individual displacements produced by each of the waves at that point.

y1 = 2sin(3x – 2t) & y2 = 3sin(3x – 2t + π/4). Find the expression for resultant displacement caused by superposition of the two waves.
4.63sin(3x-2t+3π/5)
