The height in feet of a rider on a Ferris wheel can be modeled by the function
y = -30 cos to a) + 32, where xis the number of seconds into the ride.
How many seconds does it take the Ferris wheel to make one complete revolution?
(Just type in the numerical answer, no label.)

y...
...there's no x. You wrote the function wrong.

...there's no x. You wrote the function wrong.
Sorry here’s the correct equation
I just copied it from images the first time

What's the period of cosine?
jovial cosmos
No clue
coral yarrow
...do you know what "period" means in this context at all?
jovial cosmos
I can find the period on a sinusoid graph but that’s about the extent of my knowledge
I’m not good at math
At all
coral yarrow
...okay. y = cos(x) is a sinusoid graph. What's the period?
jovial cosmos
I don’t know how to do that without looking at a graph specifically

How many radians are in a circle?
jovial cosmos
I don’t know what a radian is either
coral yarrow
Okay, you definitely should know that.
Like, that's something that this question specifically is using.
Meaning it's something you should've been taught already.
jovial cosmos
Yeah I should know a lot of things
coral yarrow
Two pi. The period of cosine is two pi.
jovial cosmos
Oh ok
