6. La Grande Roue de Montréal is the largest Ferris
wheel in Canada and the fourth largest in the world.
It has a diameter of 60 m, and one revolution takes 5
minutes to complete. Suppose riders can see Mount
Yamaska if they were higher than 50 m above the
ground.
(a) Suppose the rider gets on at a height of 0.5 m at t = 0 minutes. Write a trigonometric function
to represent the height of a rider above the ground h(t), in meters, as a function of time t, in minutes
