    Proof Vibrations
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on proving the equivalence of two equations for x(t) in the context of vibrations. The first equation is x(t) = e^(-ζωnt)(a1e^(jωdt) + a2e^(-jωdt), while the second is x(t) = Ae^(-ζωnt)sin(ωdt + φ). Participants suggest using Euler's formula, exp(jx) = cos(x) + jsin(x), as a starting point for the proof. The original poster expresses difficulty in beginning the proof due to financial constraints limiting access to necessary textbooks. Overall, the thread seeks collaborative assistance in solving this mathematical problem.
