Graphs of the Sine and Cosine Functions · Exercise 48
A Ferris wheel is 25 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. The six o’clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 10 minutes. The function gives a person’s height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn.
ⓐ Find the amplitude, midline, and period of
ⓑ Find a formula for the height function
ⓒ How high off the ground is a person after 5 minutes?
