30 the colossus ferris wheel debuted at the 1984 new orleans world’s fair. the ride is 180 ft tall, and passengers board the ride at an initial height of 15 ft above the ground. the height above ground, h, of a passenger on the ride is a periodic function of time, t. the graph displays the height above ground of the last passenger to board over the course of the 15 min ride. question- what is the period of the sine function model? interpret the period you found in the context of the operation of the ferris wheel

period 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given equation for height as

where

The height above ground, h, of a passenger on the ride is a periodic function of time, t

We can use period formula

Firstly, we can compare and find B

now, we can find time period

Interpretation:

we know that time period is the time after which value starts repeating itself

Since, period =2/3

It means that after 2/3 min , the height of passenger will be same

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
