Suppose that the height above ground of a person sitting on a Ferris wheel is described by the following function h(t) = 18.4 + 16.3 sin (2pie/5 t) In this function, ℎ(t) is the height above ground (in meters) and t is the time (in minutes). The ride begins at t = 0 minutes. Find the period of the function and interpret its meaning in the context of this problem in complete sentence(s). b) Find the maximum and minimum values and interpret its meaning in the context of this problem in complete sentence(s). Do not round. c) During the first 10 minutes, when will the person be 25 meters above the ground? Round all answers to the nearest hundredth. Note: The graphing calculator may be used to solve part c).
Suppose that the height above ground of a person sitting on a Ferris wheel is
described by the following
h(t) = 18.4 + 16.3 sin (2pie/5 t)
In this function, ℎ(t) is the height above ground (in meters) and t is the time (in minutes).
The ride begins at t = 0 minutes.
Find the period of the function and interpret its meaning in the context of this problem in
complete sentence(s).
b) Find the maximum and minimum values and interpret its meaning in the context of this
problem in complete sentence(s). Do not round.
c) During the first 10 minutes, when will the person be 25 meters above the ground? Round all
answers to the nearest hundredth.
