Where F(t) centimeters is the directed distance of the weightfrom its central position at t seconds,and the postive distance  means above its central position.

a. Find the times when the weight is at its central position.

b. For what values of t does the weight reach its farthest point below its central position.

2. The finance department of a car company conducted a studyof their weekly sales in the past years,andout with the following approximating functions 

  s(t)=12.18 cos(0.88t-7.25) + 20.40,t>0

where s(t) represents weekly car sales in million pesosat week t ( t=0) represents the startof the study.

a. Find the weekly sales at the startof the study.
