Suppose that the height H of a Ferris wheel can be modeled by the function n H(t)= -16cos(t/45)+24, where t is the time in seconds. What is the maximum height of a cabin? Use 3.14 for π

Answer:

40 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the Ferris Wheel is modeled by:

[tex]\displaystyle H(t)=-16\cos\Big(\frac{t}{45}\Big)+24[/tex]

Where H(t) is the height (in feet (assuming)) and t is the time in seconds.

Remember that the value of cosine, regardless of the input, will always be between -1 and 1. That is:

[tex]-1\leq \cos(t)\leq 1[/tex]

So, we can use the two maximums. Testing -1 and 1, we get:

[tex]H(t)=-16(1)+24=8[/tex]

And:

[tex]H(t)=-16(-1)+24=40[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum height of a cabin of the Ferris Wheel will be 40 feet in the air.

Notes:

And the minimum height will be 8 feet.

We are not asked to find t. To do so, however, set H(t) = 40 and find the general solution for t.
