The height of a single car on a Ferris wheel is modeled by a cosine function.

The car completes 4 whole rotations in a time period of 27 minutes.

Write a function rule that could model this situation?

Respuesta :

The cosine function that can model this real-world scenario is:
f(x) = -106cos (4x) + 106. See how the same is derived below. The full question is also attached.

What is a Cosine Function?

A Cosine Function is a periodic function that is denoted as Cos x. See the attached image.

The above function is derived as follows:

T = 2π/4 = π/2 = 2π/ω

Therefore, ω = 2π/π/2 = 4

This means f(x)= -106 cos (4x) + 106
