Modeling with Trigonometric Functions · Exercise 39

Construct an equation that models the described behavior.

A spring attached to the ceiling is pulled 17 cm down from equilibrium and released. After 3 seconds, the amplitude has decreased to 13 cm. The spring oscillates 14 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.
