Final answer:

The angular position of the point on the rotating wheel at t= 0 is 7.13 radians, which is the constant term in the given equation for angular position.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to the initial angular position of a point on a rotating wheel. Given the equation for the angular position θ=7.13+6.02t²+2.24t³, where θ is in radians and t is in seconds, we can determine the angular position at t= 0 by substituting the value of t into the equation. Since the equation only contains terms of t raised to a power, any term with t will be zero at t= 0.

Thus, the point's angular position at t= 0 is simply the constant term in the equation, which is 7.13 radians.
