Solve the following situation correctly and Show Your COMPLETE SOLUTION. A Ferris Wheel in Las Vegas, Nevada, opened in March 2014. The 550 ft tall wheel has a diameter of 5290 ft. A ride on its one of its 28 passenger cars last 30 minutes, the time it takes the wheel to complete one full rotation. Riders board the passenger cars at the bottom of the wheel. Assume that once the wheel is in motion it maintains a constant speed for the 30-minutes ride and is rotating in a counter clockwise direction. If you were on this ride, how high would you be above the ground after 20 minutes?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
