a.
Find the period of the model.
a.
Answer to Problem 85E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The height h (in feet) above ground of a seat on a Ferris wheel at time t (in seconds) is modelled by
Find the period of the model. What does the period tell you about the ride?
Calculation:
The height
It is known that for a function of the form
Amplitude=
Period=
The shift is
The period of
Period
Hence, The period is found to be
b.
Find the amplitude of the model
