There are two common forms for the general solution for the position of a harmonic oscillator as a function of time t: 1. x(t) = A cos (wt + p) and 2. x(t) = C cos (wt) + S sin (wt). Either of these equations is a general solution of a second-order differential equation (F= mā); hence both must have at least two--arbitrary constants--parameters that can be adjusted to fit the solution to the particular motion at hand.
