Answer:
The equation of the displacement
as a function of time
is :

Step-by-step explanation:
Generally , A simple harmonic wave is a sinusoidal function that is it can be expressed in simple
or
terms.
Thus,

is the general form of displacement of a SHM.
where,
- <em>
is the displacement with respect to the mean position at any time
</em> - <em>
is amplitude </em> - <em>
is the natural frequency of oscillation (
)</em> - <em>
is the phase angle which indicates the initial position of the object in SHM (
)</em>
given,
- Time period (
) = 

- The natural frequency (
) and time period (
) is :

∴
=

∴
the equation :
<em>⇒
</em> ------1
since
when
,
<em>⇒
------2</em>
where n is an integer ;
<u>⇒since the bouy immediately moves in the negative direction ,
must be negative or c must be an odd multiple of
.</u>
<em>⇒
------3</em>
where k is also an integer ;
the least value of
;
thus ,
the equation is :

1) 1/4+1/2
We need to convert the fractions.
1/4 is fine.
1 x 2=2
2 x 2=4
1/4+2/4=3/4
2) a+a
a can be written as 1a.
1a+1a=2a
I can't see photos and he doesn't know 3 or 4 and i'm confused on 5.
a=?
Hope it helps?
The Factor Theorem says (x - a) is a factor of function p(x) if p(a)=0
so check for p(-2)
= -2^4 +3(-2)^3 + 4(-2)^2 - 8
= 16 - 24 +16 -8
= 0
so (x + 2) is a factor
Answer is attached ! Hope it helps
