Thread: Real urgent need help asap!!!!!!!

The problem is as follows: A particle moves along the x-axis with the position at time t given by x(t) = e^ -t sin t for 0 < or equal to t < or equal to 2pi


a) find the time t at which the particle is farthest to the left. justify your answer.
b) find the value of the constant A for which x(t) satisfies the equation Ax'' (t) + x'(t) + x(t) = 0

Won't "furthest to the left" be the minimum value?

What did you get for the first and second derivatives of x(t)? When you set up the equation, what did you get?

Please be complete. Thank you!
