Question

The path traveled by a roller coaster is modeled by the equation y=27sin13x+30. What is the maximum altitude of the roller coaster?

Answer 1

have you done calculus, its easy take the derivative = 0

Answer 2

so 27*cos 13 x * 13 = 0

Answer 3

so when cos (13x) = 0

Answer 4

so when x = pi/26 we have a maximum x value, plug it back in

Answer 5

oh logically its 57
because sin x has a mximum of 1
