The London Eye is a huge Ferris wheel with a diameter of 135 meters (443 feet). It completes one rotation every 30 minutes. Riders board from a platform 2 meters above the ground. Express a rider’s height above ground as a function of time in minutes.
With a diameter of 135 m, the wheel has a radius of 67.5 m. The height will oscillate with amplitude 67.5 m above and below the center.
Passengers board 2 m above ground level, so the center of the wheel must be located
m above ground level. The midline of the oscillation will be at 69.5 m.
The wheel takes 30 minutes to complete 1 revolution, so the height will oscillate with a period of 30 minutes.
Lastly, because the rider boards at the lowest point, the height will start at the smallest value and increase, following the shape of a vertically reflected cosine curve.
Periodic functions repeat after a given value. The smallest such value is the period. The basic sine and cosine functions have a period of
The function
is odd, so its graph is symmetric about the origin. The function
is even, so its graph is symmetric about the
y -axis.
The graph of a sinusoidal function has the same general shape as a sine or cosine function.
In the general formula for a sinusoidal function, the period is

Why are the sine and cosine functions called periodic functions?
The sine and cosine functions have the property that

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Where is quantity of cut flower produced, I is labour input and K is fixed capital input (K-5). Determine the average product of labour (APL) and marginal product of labour (MPL)
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

What do you think is more important to focus on when considering inequality ?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs
Awais
thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
