x(t) = 12 cos (5t) + 4 sin (5t)                       

For which value of t the “Reduced Form” is equal to zero (x = 0) in the interval 0 < wt - phi < pi?

Pi = 3.14

If x = 0 then 12 cos(5t) + 4sin(5t) = 0    

 

Rewrite as 4sin(5t) = -12cos(5t) 

 

Divide both sides by 4cos(5t) to get:    tan(5t) = -3

 

This gives 5t = tan-1(-3)  so  5t = 1.893 radians  (tan is negative in the 2nd quadrant)  

 

t = 1.893/5  = 0.379
