Sine and Cosine with Radians

What will a person on this Ferris wheel be doing 67 seconds into their ride?

• Increasing at an increasing rate.

• Increasing at a decreasing rate.

• Decreasing at a decreasing rate.

• Decreasing at an increasing rate.

Answer explanation

Every 8 seconds is a cycle. So, at 64 seconds, the Ferris wheel starts a new cycle. The rider reaches their highest at 68 seconds. So, at 67 seconds, the graph is increasing and concave down (decreasing rate).

At 100 seconds into the ride, will the rider be at the highest point (rel. max), lowest point (relative min), or neither?

• Highest

• Lowest

• Neither

Answer explanation

At 96 seconds (divisible by 8), a new cycle starts. Four seconds later, the rider is at their highest.

Unlike right triangle trigonometry, sine and cosine may be negative. Thinking about how sine, cosine, and tangent relate to (x,y) coordinate pairs on the unit circle, find the quadrants where: sine is positive: ​ (a)   ​& (b)   sine is negative: ​ ​ (c)   &​ (d)  

• I

• II

• III

• IV
