Mark sits on a swing that is 2.5 feet off the ground. Swinging as hard as he can, the swing reaches a height of 6 feet. Assuming Mark holds a steady pace, the height of the swing could be represented by a cosine curve.If Mark makes a full swing forward and backward in 3 seconds, which graph below could represent the height of the swing, in feet, for any time, t?

A
On a coordinate plane, seconds is on the x-axis and feet is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, 3). It has a maximum of y = 6 and a minimum of y = 3. It goes through 1 cycle in 1.5 seconds.
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, seconds is on the x-axis and feet is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, 3). It has a maximum of y = 8 and a minimum of y = 4. It goes through 1 cycle in 1.5 seconds.
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, seconds is on the x-axis and feet is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, 3). It has a maximum of y = 6 and a minimum of y = 3. It goes through 1 cycle in 3 seconds.
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, seconds is on the x-axis and feet is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, negative 2). It has a maximum of y = 2 and a minimum of y = negative 2. It goes through 1 cycle in 1.5 seconds.

Throughout the day, the depth of water at the end of a dock varies with the tides. The function represents the height, in feet, of the water t hours after midnight.Which graph shows the height of the water at the dock at any time after midnight?

Question illustration
A
On a coordinate plane, feet is on the x-axis and depth is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, 5). It decreases through the y-axis. It has a minimum of y = 2 and a maximum of y =12. It goes through 1 cycle in 13 feet.
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, feet is on the x-axis and depth is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, 5). It increases through the y-axis. It has a minimum of y = 2 and a maximum of y =12. It goes through 1 cycle in 13 feet.
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, feet is on the x-axis and depth is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, 5). It increases through the y-axis. It has a minimum of y = 2 and a maximum of y =12. It goes through 1 cycle in 7 feet.
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, feet is on the x-axis and depth is on the y-axis. A curve starts at (0, negative 2). It increases through the y-axis. It has a minimum of y = negative 5 and a maximum of y =5. It goes through 1 cycle in 13 feet.

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?

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.
Option A
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.
Option B
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.
