I was practicing this and I couldn't figure out how to even begin..

The height over time of a person riding a Ferris wheel can be modelled using sinusoidal function. Sketch a height versus time graph for a person riding a Ferris wheel with the following characteristics.

  • The person reaches a maximum of 15m
  • The person reaches a minimum of 1m
  • It takes 70 seconds for the Ferris wheel to turn once.
  • At time 0, the person is at height 1 m.

I realize I can find a and d with this but Im stuck on how to get the rest. Any help would be great thank you!
