Models with Trigonometric Functions

Here’s the question we considered in today’s lesson. See how far you can get on this question tonight, and we’ll continue our discussion tomorrow.

The London Eye is 15 m off the ground, and has a diameter of 120 m. The London Eye completes one revolution every 30 minutes.

  1. Develop a function to model the height of a passenger on the London Eye t minutes after boarding a capsule.
  2. How far above ground would passengers in a capsule be after
    a. 10 minutes have passed?
    b. 25 minutes have passed?
