the equation gives you the radius (38), period (2pi/3.5) and the height of the axle (41)
what is the difficulty?
The height of a person on a ferris wheel is measured by function h(t)=38 sin 3.5 (t-4.0)+41.?
h= height of person in feet t=represents the time in minutes.
a) At what height, to the nearest tenth, are passengers loaded onto the Ferris wheel ? what characteristics of the graph are you finding?
b) How long does is take, to the nearest tenth, to make one full revolution? what characteristic are you finding on the graph.
c) What is the maximum height a passenger will reach? what characteristic are you finding on the graph
d) what is the radius of the ferris wheel?
