Answer:
height = 20.5068 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
First, lets calculate the amplitude, midline and period of 8minutes
Amplitude = 35 / 2 = 17.5
|A| = 17.5
A = - 17.5 { since the wheel starts at 6 o clock }
midline C = (35/2) + 3
C = 17.5 + 3
C = 20.5
And period is 8 minutes
⇒ 2π/B = 8
8B = 2π
B = 2π/8 = π/4
So our equation will be in the form of;
y = h(t) = Acos(B×t) + C
∴ h(t) = -17.5cos( π/4×t) + 20.5
Now, How high are you off the ground after 6 minutes
⇒ height = -17.5cos( π/4 × 6) + 20.5
height = -17.5cos( π/4 × 6) + 20.5
height = -17.5cos( 4.71238898) + 20.5
height = -17.5 × cos( 4.712) + 20.5
height = -17.5 × -0.00038898 + 20.5
height = 0.0068 + 20.5
height = 20.5068 m

should be the right answer
If that 25/4 is a fraction them the answer is 53/4. Or in simplest form 3 5/16 or 3.3125
The series of odd numbers is:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, ....
If you observe this series, it is an Arithmetic Series with first term as 1 and common difference of 2. Common difference is defined as the difference between two consecutive terms of the series. So by using the formula of sum of an Arithmetic Series, we can find the sum of first 100 positive odd whole numbers.
The formula for the sum of an Arithmetic Series is:

Here,
n = number of terms = 100
a₁ = first term = 1
d = Common Difference = 2
Using the values, we get:

Thus, the sum of first 100 positive odd whole numbers is 10,000.
