FILL IN THE BLANK QUESTION

3 mins • 1 pt

A person goes for a ride on a Ferris wheel. They enter one of the cars AT THE LOWEST possible point on the wheel from a platform 7 ft off the ground. When they are at the very top of the wheel, they are 92 feet off the ground. Let h represent the height of the car (in feet) and d the distance the car has traveled along the wheel's circumference from its starting location at the bottom of the wheel. We'll use the notation h=f(d), meaning height is a function of distance traveled.


How high above the ground is the CENTER of the ferris wheel?

What is the correct equation for f(d)?

f(d)=42.5cos(267x)+49.5f\left(d\right)=-42.5\cos\left(267x\right)+49.5

f(d)=49.5cos(2π267x)+42.5f\left(d\right)=-49.5\cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{267}x\right)+42.5

f(d)=42.5cos(2π267x)+49.5f\left(d\right)=-42.5\cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{267}x\right)+49.5

f(d)=85cos(2π267x)+42.5f\left(d\right)=-85\cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{267}x\right)+42.5

Which other equations would model the graph of the Ferris wheel?

 y=42.5cos(2π267(x133.5))+49.5y=42.5\cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{267}\left(x-133.5\right)\right)+49.5  

 y=42.5sin(2π267(x133.5))+49.5y=42.5\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{267}\left(x-133.5\right)\right)+49.5  

 y=42.5cos(2π267(x200.25))+49.5y=42.5\cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{267}\left(x-200.25\right)\right)+49.5  

 y=42.5sin(2π267(x66.75))+49.5y=42.5\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{267}\left(x-66.75\right)\right)+49.5
