Question

A seat’s position on a Ferris wheel can be modelled by the function y = 18 cos 2.8(x + 1.2) + 21, where y represents the height in feet and x represents the time in minutes. Determine the diameter of the Ferris wheel.

Answer 1

Step by step expression

Answer 2

Explanation:

A ball is thrown straight up from a rooftop 320 feet high. The formula below describes the ball's height above the ground, h, in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. The ball misses the rooftop on its way down and eventually strikes the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground? Use this information to provide tick marks with appropriate numbers along the horizontal axis in the figure shown.

h=-16t^2+16t+320
