7. A Ferris wheel at an amusement park reaches a maximum height of 46 meters and a minimum height of 1
meter. It takes 20 minutes for the wheel to make one full rotation.
a. If a child gets on the Ferris wheel when !t = 0, determine how high will he after riding for 10 minutes.
b. Write a sine function to model the height of the child !t minutes after boarding the Ferris wheel.
c. Calculate the height of the child if he has been riding for 3 minutes.

8. The owner of an ice cream shop tracks his annual sales and discovers he sells a minimum of 5 gallons of ice
cream of the first day of January, and a maximum of 37 gallons on the first day of July.
a. The annual sales can be modeled by a cosine function f! (x) = a cos (b (x − c)) + d where a! < 0 and
! < c < 5, create an equation to model this situation. Let !x represent the month.

b. Determine how many gallons would he expect to sell on the first day of April.
c. During what month would he expect to sell 30 gallons of ice cream in one day.
