At Canada's Wonderland, a thrill seeker can ride the Xtreme Skyflyer. This is essentially a large pendulum of which the rider is the bob. However, in this case there is a vertical net for safety. The riders horizontal distance to the safety net is given for various times:

a. Create a graph of the distance of the pendulum from the net with respect to time.
b. Find the graphs amplitude, period, vertical translation, and phase shift for this function. [Note: the table does not follow the bob through one complete cycle, so some thought will be required to answer this question.
c. Determine the equation of the modelling function in the form:
d. How could the amplitude be determined without creating the graph or finding the function?
e. What is the maximum horizontal displacement for this pendulum?
f. The time for one complete cycle is the period. How long
would it take to complete 15 cycles?
