Modeling with Trigonometric Functions · Exercise 37

Construct an equation that models the described behavior.

A spring attached to the ceiling is pulled 10 cm down from equilibrium and released. The amplitude decreases by 15% each second. The spring oscillates 18 times each second. Find a function that models the distance, $D,$ the end of the spring is from equilibrium in terms of seconds, $t,$ since the spring was released.
