Suspended from the ceiling is a weight on a large spring that is oscillating up and down. The distance, \(d\) inches, between the location of the center of mass of the weight after \(t\) seconds and the weight's equilibrium location at \(t=0\) is modeled by the function \(d=5\sin{(4\pi t)}\). What is the amplitude of the function?

The standard equation for a trigonometric function is:

$$ y=A\sin{B(x-C)}+D $$

\(A\) represents the amplitude.
