where x(r) is the position of the object along the number line at time /. The other
quantities are constants: a 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(r)that gives the position of the weight as a function of time r in
seconds. (Your function should consist of a sine term and a cosine term.)

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

5) How are the graphs from part 2) related to the graph in part 3)? Are the values for
period and amplitude the same or different? Why do you think we see these results?
Please write out your explanation using complete sentences.
