Question
Please see attached for PartA.
Part B) Write an equation for f(t). Do not use an approximation for pi. Thank you.

Transcribed Image Text:A spider rests on the blade of a ceiling fan, as shown in the figures. A stopwatch is
started, at which point the time is t = 0 seconds. When t=0, the spider is at its
maximum distance from the wall, 2.5 m away from the wall (Figure 1). The spider first
reaches its minimum distance from the wall, 1.5 m away from the wall, when t=1
second (Figure 2). When t=2 seconds, the spider is back to its maximum distance from
the wall. The spider continues to move in a circle, so that the spider's distance from the
wall over time can be modeled by a sinusoidal function.
Let f(t) be the distance between the spider and the wall & seconds after starting the
stopwatch.
(a) Graph the function y=f (t) that models the distance between the spider and the
wall.
• First choose the appropriate starting graph from the ones below.
• Then transform it to make a graph that shows the distance between the
spider and the wall from the stopwatch data.
