where xCt) is the position of the object along the number line at time t. The other
quantities are constants: tV is a constant that depends on the stiffness of the spring and
the mass of the weight, Vo is the initial velocity, and Xo is the initial position of the object.
Part I
1) Write the function x(t) that gives the position of the weight as a function of time t in
seconds. (Your function should consist of a sine term and a cosine term.)

part (1). Use the window settings indicated below. Sketch what you see on your
calculator display.

4) Write an equation for your calculator graph in the form x(t)
= A cos[ B(t
- C)]. (Use
the trace or maximum feature of your graphing utility to help you find values for A, B,
and C. I expect to see decimal approximations for these values.)
