Question

Interpreting graphs of functions

Correct answers only thank you very much
A weight is attached to a spring, which moves up and down as a function of time.

p(t) gives the position of the weight at time (t). Position is in centimeters, and time is in seconds.

Complete the following sentences based on the graph of the function.

Answer 1

• non-linear
• 40
• 1/2

Explanation:

• This is a non-linear function specifically it is an oscillating function
• The initial position of the weight occurs at t=0 and from the graph we see that at t=0, the weight position is 40 centimeters
• The weight is said to reach equilibrium when its position is at 0 cm. From the graph we can see that the function first reaches 0 cm at t=0.5 seconds or at t= 1/2 second

Answer 2

Answer: non-linear 40 1/2 Step-by-step explanation: This is a non-linear function specifically it is an oscillating function The initial position of the weight occurs at t=0 and from the graph we see that at t=0, the weight position is 40 centimeters The weight is said to reach equilibrium when its position is at 0 cm. From the graph we can see that the function first reaches 0 cm at t=0.5 seconds or at t= 1/2 second
