Suppose that the height above ground of a person sitting on a Ferris wheel is described by the following.

h(t)=17.7-15.6cos(2pi/5 t)

In this equation, h(t) is the height above ground (in meters) and t is the time (in minutes). The ride begins at t=0 minutes.

During the first minutes of the ride, when will the person be 26 meters above the ground?

Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth of a minute. (If there is more than one answer, enter additional answers with the "or" button.)

I wasn't able to parse your question, but the HE.NET team is hard at work making me smarter.
