Answer These Three Questions

Question

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 60 feet. When you start at the top of the Ferris wheel, you are 62 feet from the ground. The Ferris wheel completes one rotation in 2 minutes.

1. Create a graph that represents your height relative to the center of the Ferris wheel as a function of time, using the image below as a guide. Replace the image with your graph.

2



3. Create a function that represents your height relative to the center of the Ferris wheel as a function of time.

Answer 1

h(t) = 30sin(pi(t)+pi/2) + 2 where t= time measured in minutes, h= height above center of the Ferris wheel

just graph a sine curve with amplitude 30, with midline shifted up and period shifted
