Answer:
y = 5cos(πx/4) +11
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius is 5 ft, so that will be the multiplier of the trig function.
The car starts at the top of the wheel, so the appropriate trig function is cosine, which is 1 (its maximum value) when its argument is zero.
The period is 8 seconds, so the argument of the cosine function will be 2π(x/8) = πx/4. This changes by 2π when x changes by 8.
The centerline of the wheel is the sum of the minimum and the radius, so is 6+5 = 11 ft. This is the offset of the scaled cosine function.
Putting that all together, you get
... y = 5cos(π/4x) + 11
_____
The answer selections don't seem to consistently identify the argument of the trig function properly. We assume that π/4(x) means (πx/4), where this product is the argument of the trig function.
keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above
so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and that it passes through (4 , 1)
kinda twins.
