a ferris wheel rotates around in 30 seconds. the maximum height above theground is 55 feet and the minumum height above the ground is 5 feet. what function would model the height as a funtion of T in seconds

Respuesta :

Answer:

The required function is [tex]h(T)=30\sin (\frac{\pi T}{15})+25[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The general sine function is

[tex]y=A\sin (Bx+C)+D[/tex]             .... (1)

Where, A is amplitude, [tex]\frac{2\pi}{B}[/tex] is period, C is phase shift and D is midline.

It is given that the maximum height above the ground is 55 feet and the minimum height above the ground is 5 feet.

The amplitude of the function is

[tex]A=\frac{Maximum+Minimum}{2}=\frac{55+5}{2}=30[/tex]

The Midline of the function is

[tex]D=\frac{Maximum-Minimum}{2}=\frac{55-5}{2}=25[/tex]

A ferris wheel rotates around in 30 seconds. So, the period of the function is 30.

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{B}=30\Rightarrow B=\frac{2\pi}{30}=\frac{\pi}{15}[/tex]

[tex]2\pi=30B[/tex]

Substitute A=30, [tex]B=\frac{\pi}{15}[/tex], C=0 and D=25 in equation (1), to find the required function.

[tex]y=30\sin (\frac{\pi}{15}x+0)+25[/tex]

The required variable is T. Replace the variable x by T. So the height function is

[tex]h(T)=30\sin (\frac{\pi}{15}T+0)+25[/tex]

Therefore the required function is [tex]h(T)=30\sin (\frac{\pi T}{15})+25[/tex].

Following are the calculation to the function:

Given:

[tex]\to \theta= 30 \ second\\\\\to \text{maximum height}= 55 \ feet\\\\\to \text{minumum height}= 5 \ feet[/tex]

To find:

[tex]\delta t=?[/tex]

Solution:

period [tex]\sin \theta = 2n\\\\[/tex]

Time taking [tex]= 30 \ second\\\\[/tex]

period of our function[tex]= \sin \frac{\pi}{15} \ t\\\\[/tex]

maximum function [tex]= 55 \ feet\\\\[/tex]  

minimum function[tex]= 5 \ feet\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\to 25 \sin \frac{\pi}{15}t +30\\\\[/tex]
