Question
Clare likes riding Ferris wheels. In the table, we have the function F which gives her height F(t) above the ground, in feet, t seconds after starting her descent from the top. Today Clare tried out two new Ferris wheels.
- The first wheel is twice the height of F and rotates at the same speed. The function g gives Clare's height g(t) , in feet, t seconds after starting her descent from the top.
- The second wheel is the same height as F but rotates at half the speed. The function h gives Clare's height h(t) , in feet, t seconds after starting her descent from the top.
t | F(t) | g(t) | h(t) |
0 | 212 | ||
20 | 181 | ||
40 | 106 | ||
60 | 31 | ||
80 | 0 |
QUESTION TO ANSWER: Complete as much of the table as you can for the function h, modeling Claire's height on the second Ferris wheel.
