Suppose that the mass in a mass-spring-dashpot system with m = 10, the damping constant c = 9, and the spring constant k = 2 is set in motion with x(0) = -1/2 and x'(0) = -1/4.
(a) Find the position function x(t).
(b) Determine whether the mass passes through its equilibrium position. Sketch the graph of x(t).
