a ferris wheel is 25 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. the six o clock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. the wheel completes one full revolution in 16 minutes. the function h(t) gives a persons height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. A. find the amplitude, midline and period of h(t) enter the exact answers assume that a person has just boarded the ferris wheel from the platform and the ferris wheel starts spinning at the time t=0. find a formula for the height function h(t). b. if the ferris wheel continues to turn, how high off the ground is a person after 60 minutes

Question

this is actually precalculus, and it says its from graphs of the sine and cosine functions.

a ferris wheel is 25 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. the six o clock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. the wheel completes one full revolution in 16 minutes. the function h(t) gives a persons height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn.

A. find the amplitude, midline and period of h(t) enter the exact answers

assume that a person has just boarded the ferris wheel from the platform and the ferris wheel starts spinning at the time t=0. find a formula for the height function h(t).

b. if the ferris wheel continues to turn, how high off the ground is a person after 60 minutes
