The height in meters of a person on a Ferris wheel as a func

The height (in meters) of a person on a Ferris wheel as a function of the angle from the 3 o\'clock position is given by f()=65+47sin

a) What are the highest and lowest points on the ride?

highest point:________ meters

b) Describe the dimensions of the Ferris wheel.

The center of the Ferris wheel is______meters off the ground and the radius is ______ meters. Thus, the lowest point of the wheel is _________ meters from the ground.

Solution

f(?)=65+47sin?

For highest point, ? = 90 ========> f(?)=65+47 = 112 m

For lowest point, ? = -90 ========> f(?)=65-47 = 18 m
