Question 1000137: Please help me with the problem below:
The distance y inches between a yo-yo and Susan's had at time t seconds is given by the equation y=-15cos(2(3.14)t/2.8)+15. Steven needs to take a picture when the yo-yo is 7 inches from the hand and moving away from the hand. At what times can he take the picture?

This is telling you that

Let

Using the inverse cos function
and setting for radians
on my calculator:

sec
---------------------
The cos function ( all cos functions ) begins at , then
goes to at
-----------------
My value, , is less than , so
it is on the way down from zero inches from hand to
inches from hand when cos function is zero.
When the cos is ,
yo-yo is inches from hand.
-------------------------------
To figure out all the times that yo-yo is in from hand
and on the way down, you must add like this:

Then you must find for , , , etc.
You will be on the way down each of those times and
in from hand

Hope this helps
