A ferris wheel is 52 feet in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 5 feet above the ground. The six o'clock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes one full revolution every 9.2 minutes. At t=0 you are at the three o'clock position and begin to ascend. Suppose the height h, in feet, of the Ferris Wheel car at time t, in minutes is given by h =f(1). (a) Which of the following graphs best fits the model? N N N N n n t t (b) The period of f() is Number (c) The amplitude is Number (d) The midline is y= Number (e) In the graph in part (a), the maximum of the graph in the first cycle first occurs when Number ) = Number
