Step 1
Given that the diameter of the Ferris wheel is 25 meters, the radius is half of the diameter, so the radius is 25/2 = 12.5 meters. Show more…

A Ferris wheel is 25 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. The six o’clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 16 minutes. The function h(t) gives a person’s height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. a. Find the amplitude, midline, and period of h(t) .

A Ferris wheel is 25 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. The six o’clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 16 minutes. The function h(t) gives a person’s height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. Assume that a person has just boarded the Ferris wheel from the platform and that the Ferris wheel starts spinning at time t=0. Find a formula for the height function h(t) explain how you got your answer
