This is College Physics Answers with Shaun Dychko. We have the equation x equals A times sin of wt so what values can position x take? Well, we know that the range of the sin function is from negative 1 upto 1 and so multiplying negative 1 by A will give a maximally negative value of negative A or multiplying 1 by A will give a maximum of A so x can vary between negative A and A so the answer is B.
