Question 1034357: a portion of a roller coaster ride resembles a sinusoid. the top hill of the coaster is at a point (100, 250). the lowest point immediately follows the hilll, and it occurs at (200, 50). assuming all measurements are in feet, what is the amplitude of the sinusoid? What is the vertical shift of the sinusoid from one at ground level?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! a portion of a roller coaster ride resembles a sinusoid. the top hill of the coaster is at a point (100, 250). the lowest point immediately follows the hilll, and it occurs at (200, 50). assuming all measurements are in feet, what is the amplitude of the sinusoid? What is the vertical shift of the sinusoid from one at ground level?
-----------
The vertical values are from 250 to 50 --> amplitude of 100 (± 100 from the center line)
-----------
The center line is at (250+50)/2 = 150
--> vertical shift of 150
