Question 2 of 10 • CA-Common Core Algebra II B
A rider boards a Ferris wheel 10 feet above ground level. The diameter of the Ferris wheel is 50 feet and the wheel completes one full rotation every 24 seconds. Which graph represents the relationship between time and height off the ground?
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (0, 10). It has a maximum at y = 60 and a minimum at y = 10. It increases through the y-axis. Its cycle is 0.4 x.
B
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (0, 60). It has a maximum at y = 60 and a minimum at y = 10. It decreases through the y-axis. Its cycle is 0.4 x.
C
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (0, 10). It has a maximum at y = 60 and a minimum at y = 10. It increases through the y-axis. Its cycle is 0.8 x.
D
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (0, 10). It has a maximum at y = 60 and a minimum at y = 10. It decreases through the y-axis. Its cycle is 0.8 x.
