1 of 2

Recall that the damping factor is the function multiplied by the trigonometric function. Since the simple harmonic function is in the form:

d=asinωtord=acosωtd = a\sin \omega t \quad \text{or} \quad d = a \cos \omega t

where aa and ω\omega are real numbers, and there is no other function besides the trigonometric function, it follows that the statement is true.
