Let t be the number of seconds that have elapsed since you began moving. It takes you 5 seconds to reach the top of the wheel (38 feet above the ground) and 20 seconds to make a complete revolution. The diameter of the wheel is 30 feet.

What is the lowest you go as the ferris wheel turns? 8 feet (Is this correct)

Write the equation of a sinusoid that describes this motion. I have this so far: y=15sin(pi/10(x)+C)+38
I don't know what C is and, is the equation correct
Predict your height above the ground when t = 3, t = 8
