Question 8 A spring is attached to the ceiling and pulled 8 cm down from equilibrium and released. The damping factor for the spring is determined to be 0.4 and the spring oscillates 12 times each
second. Find an equation for the displacement, D(t), of the spring from equilibrium in terms of
seconds, t.
D(t) =

I need to use damped harmonic motion formula: f(t)= ae^ct sin(w—> omega symbol t) or f(t)= ae^ct cos(w—> omega symbol t). The problem is I’m not sure which one I need to use? Please?

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
