Assignment 10

Investigation 2

 

For various a and b, investigate

x=cos(at)

y=sin(bt)

for 0 < t <

 

Answer:

 

For x=cos(t) and y=sin(t)

For x=cos(2t) and y=sin(2t)

For x=cos(7t) and y=sin(7t)

For x=cos(-t) and y=sin(-t)

 

 

For x=cos(-10t) and y=sin(-10t)

For x=cos(12t) and y=sin(-12t)

It is clear that as you increase the values of a or b towards the positive or the negative, a unit circle is formed.
