Suppose that you want to model the height of a rider on a ferris wheel as a function of time, t, in minutes. if the rider is at the bottom of the ferris wheel at t = 0 minutes, which of the following would be easiest to use?

the cosine function unreflected
the sine function unreflected
the cosine function reflected about its midline
the sine function reflected about its midline

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "the cosine function reflected about its midline." Suppose that you want to model the height of a rider on a Ferris wheel as a function of time, t, in minutes. If the rider is at the bottom of the Ferris wheel at t = 0 minutes, then the way that would be easiest to use is the cosine function reflected about its midline
