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 \"+y+=+7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7+=+15%2A%28+-cos%28+6.28t%2F2.8+%29+%2B+1+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7%2F15+=++-cos%28+6.28t%2F2.8+%29+%2B+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7%2F15+-+15%2F15+=+-cos%28+6.28t%2F2.8+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8%2F15+=+cos%28+6.28t%2F2.8+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8%2F15+=+.5333+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+6.28t%2F2.8+=+theta+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.5333+=+cos%28+theta+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using the inverse cos function
\n" ); document.write( "and setting for radians
\n" ); document.write( "on my calculator:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+theta+=+1.00826+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6.28t%2F2.8+=+1.00826+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6.28t+=+2.8231+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+.4495+\" sec
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The cos function ( all cos functions ) begins at \"+1+\", then
\n" ); document.write( "goes to \"+0+\" at \"+theta+=+pi%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "My value, \"+theta+=+1.00826+\", is less than \"+pi%2F2+\", so
\n" ); document.write( "it is on the way down from zero inches from hand to
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15+\" inches from hand when cos function is zero.
\n" ); document.write( "When the cos is \"+-1+\",
\n" ); document.write( "yo-yo is \"+30+\" inches from hand.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "To figure out all the times that yo-yo is \"+7+\" in from hand
\n" ); document.write( "and on the way down, you must add \"+2%2Api+\" like this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7+=+15%2A%28+-cos%28+6.28t%2F2.8+%2B+2%2Api+%29+%2B+1+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then you must find \"+t+\" for \"+2%2Api+\", \"+4%2Api+\", \"+6%2Api+\", etc.
\n" ); document.write( "You will be on the way down each of those times and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7+\" in from hand
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps
