(a)
How far above the ground will Domingo be when his seat reaches the top, if the radius of the Ferris wheel is 36 feet?
(a)
Answer to Problem 49E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Entertainment: Domingo decides to ride the Ferris wheel at the local carnival. When he gets into the seat that is at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, he is 4 feet above the ground.
Calculation:
He will be two radii and four feet or,
(b)
How far above the ground is Domingo when the Ferris wheel stops, if the Ferris wheel rotates
(b)
Answer to Problem 49E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Entertainment: Domingo decides to ride the Ferris wheel at the local carnival. When he gets into the seat that is at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, he is 4 feet above the ground.
Calculation:
Study the sketch for a minute. After a
4 + 36 = 40
If we subtract the length of this opposite side from 40, it will give us his height above ground.
For a 30-60-90 triangle, the short side is always half the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is a radius so it is 36 feet so the short side is 18 feet. So he is 18 feet below the x-axis which was 40 feet.
So he is 22 feet above the ground.
(c)
How far above the ground is Domingo when the Ferris wheel rotates
(c)
Answer to Problem 49E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Entertainment: Domingo decides to ride the Ferris wheel at the local carnival. When he gets into the seat that is at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, he is 4 feet above the ground.
Calculation:
Study the sketch for a minute. After a
4 + 33 = 34
If we subtract the length of this opposite side from 34, it will give us his height above ground.
For a 30-60-90 triangle, the short side is always half the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is a radius so it is 30 feet so the short side is 15 feet. So he is 15 feet below the x-axis which was 34 feet.
So he is 19 feet above the ground.

Answer to Problem 49E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Entertainment: Domingo decides to ride the Ferris wheel at the local carnival. When he gets into the seat that is at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, he is 4 feet above the ground.
Calculation:
Study the sketch for a minute. After a
4 + r
If we subtract the length of this opposite side from 4 + r, it will give us his height above ground.
For a 30-60-90 triangle, the short side is always half the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is a radius so it is r feet so the short side is
So he is

If the limit does not exist, write DNE: Hint: Remember the first thing you check when you are looking at a limit of a quotient is the limit value of the denominator. 1. If the denominator does not go to 0, you should be able to right down the answer immediately. 2. If the denominator goes to 0, but the numerator does not, you will have to check the sign (±) of the quotient, from both sides if the limit is not one-sided. 3. If both the numerator and the denominator go to 0, you have to do the algebraic trick of rationalizing. So, group your limits into these three forms and work with them one group at a time.
