Sketching Waveforms to represent Transient Responses

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around confusion regarding how to sketch waveforms that represent transient responses, particularly due to the differing frequencies in the equations presented. The participant expresses difficulty in understanding the concept, noting that the equation 'b' has twice the frequency of the others, which complicates the task. They seek clarification and assistance, highlighting inadequate course materials and unhelpful tutoring. Related Physics Forums pages are suggested as potential resources for further understanding. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for clearer explanations and guidance on the topic.

Homework Statement
sketch, on a set of common axes, the waveforms to represent the transient response of circuits having transfer functions with the following parameters:

a) ζ = 0.5, ω = 1×10^3 rad s^-1
b) ζ = 0.2, ω = 2×10^3 rad s^-1
c) ζ = 2, ω = 1×10^3 rad s^-1

unsure
i am completely unsure on what is being asked by this question. i know the word sketch suggests a rough drawing and google shows up roughly what the waveforms should look like but what's thrown me off is the fact that the equation 'b' has twice the frequency as the other two. this is a topic that i am really struggling to grasp with my course notes not so good and my tutor slightly less than useless so any assistance would be greatly received.
