The height of a Ferris wheel in feet can be represented by the function y = 50 cos ((-10)) + 52, with time in seconds. What is the maximum height, and at what interval does the height repeat on the interval 0 <x< 50?​

Mate I think you forgot to add t somewhere in the function
This height remains constant as there is no t in the function so it’s not rlly varying with time, but assuming there was a t, just differentiate and equate to 0 for max height
