The world's tallest Ferris wheel is in Las Vegas. The height h in feet of one of the passenger seats on the Ferris wheel can be modeled by the function f(t) = 275 +260 sin (30) where time t is measured in minutes after 8:00 a.m. 1. What is the diameter of the Ferris wheel? Explain how you know. 2. How long does it take the Ferris wheel to make a complete revolution? Explain how you know. 3. Give at least three different times when the passenger seat modeled by f is at its lowest point. Explain how you know. 4. Sketch a graph of the height of the seat on the Ferris wheel for at least two full revolutions.
