    periodic functions
    How do you graph h=f(t)
    find the period, amplitude, and midline.
    determine the appropriate interval for t with t>=0.

    A ferris wheel is 20 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 4 meters above the ground . The 6oclock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes one full revolution every 2 min. At t=0 you are at 12 oclock position. You then make 2 complete revolutions and any additional part of a revolution needed to return to the boarding platform.
