[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Got an interesting question from the teacher at school a few days ago and i still can't make any sense out of it.
[/FONT]Find the maximum displacement of the oscillation
x=2cos(wt) +cos[wt-(π /6)]
We have been taught that the typical trigonometric expression goes like this -->eg. A sin (BX+C) + D
where the amplitude is A, period is 2π/B, phase angle is C, phase shift is C/B and vertical shift is D.
But then again i can't seem to apply this in the above mentioned question..... Would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me.
