Question 863378: An object moves in simple harmonic motion described by the equation : d=-7cos(2π/3)t, where t is measured in t seconds and d is measured in inches. Fond the following:
a.)Max displacement?
b.)Frequency?
c.)Time required for one cycle?
I tried to get started on this problem but I am completely stuck. It would be greatly appreciated if someone helped me. Thank you.

The cos function has a maximum value of 1.
The multiplier in front of it generates the multiplier for the displacement.
Max. displacement :
.
