A Ferris wheel is 35 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 3 meters above the ground. The six o'clock position

of the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes one revolution in 8 minutes. The function, h(t), gives your height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel beings to turn. How high are you off the ground after 6 minutes

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

7.Find the lengths of the missing sides in the triangle. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form. Th

Fed [463]

Here a right angled triangle given. one angle with measure $45^o$ given. The three sides of the triangle given 4, x, y.

We have to find, the sides which is opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse here.

We know that the side opposite to right angle is always hypotenuse. So, hypotenuyse = y.

The side adjacent to the given angle $45^o$ is x. So, here adjacent = x.

The opposite side is opposite to the given angle. So, opposite = 4.

Now we will use SOHCAHTOA that is $sin(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} , cos(x) =\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} , tan(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$ , where x is the angle given.

To get x, we will use tan. So we will get,

$tan(45^o) = \frac{4}{x}$

We know the value of $tan(45^o) = 1$ . By substituting the value we will get,

$1 =\frac{4}{x}$

To find x, we have to move x here to the left side by multiplying it to both sides. We will get,

$(1)(x) = (\frac{4}{x}) (x)$

$x = 4$

So we have got the value of x here.

Now to find y, we will use the trigonometric function sine.

$sin(45^o) =\frac{4}{y}$

we know the value of $sin(45^o) =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

By substituting the value we will get,

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{4}{y}$

By cross multiplying we will get,

$(\sqrt{2}) (y) = (4)(2)$

$\sqrt{2}y = 8$

We will get y by dividing both sides by $\sqrt{2}$ , we will get,

$\frac{\sqrt{2}y}{\sqrt{2}} =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2} }$

$y =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2} }$

Now we will rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt{2}$ to the top and bottom.

$y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{(\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2})}$

$y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$y = 4\sqrt{2}$

So we have got the required values of x and y.
