A physical therapy center has a bicycle that patients use for exercise. The height, in inches (in), of the bicycle pedal above level ground periodically increases and decreases when used. The figure gives the position of the pedal P at a height of 12 inches above the ground at time t=0 seconds. The pedal's 8-inch arm defines the circular motion of the pedal. If a patient pedals 1 revolution per second, which of the following could be an expression for h(t), the height, in inches, of the bicycle pedal above level ground at time t seconds?

• 8 - 12sint

• 12 - 8sint

• 8 - 12 sin(2πt)

• 12 - 8 sin(2πt)
