Answer

There is an antinode at $x = 0$

Work Step by Step

$y'(t) = (3~mm)~sin(5x+\frac{\pi}{2})~cos(4t)$ We can find the amplitude of the standing wave at $x = 0$: $A = (3~mm)~sin(5x+\frac{\pi}{2})$ $A = (3~mm)~sin(0+\frac{\pi}{2})$ $A = (3~mm)(1)$ $A = 3~mm$ This is the maximum possible amplitude for this standing wave. There is an antinode at $x = 0$
