Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.112 Parametric Equations for Curves and Motion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the parameter t for x = -2 + 4sin(t), y = 1 + 6cos(t), -pi/2 <= t <= pi/2. Which description of the graph and the position at t = 0 is correct?

Aupper half of an ellipse centered at (-2, 1); moves counterclockwise from right to left through the bottom point; position at t = 0 is (-2, 7)

Bupper half of an ellipse centered at (-2, 1); moves clockwise from left to right through the top point; position at t = 0 is (-2, 7)

Clower half of an ellipse centered at (-2, 1); moves clockwise from left to right through the top point; position at t = 0 is (-2, 7)

Dupper half of an ellipse centered at (-2, 1); moves clockwise from left to right through the top point; position at t = 0 is (2, 1)

Solution & Explanation:Substituting t = 0 into x(t) and y(t) gives (-2, 7). Recognizing the standard parametric form or eliminating t gives upper half of an ellipse centered at (-2, 1). As t increases, the point moves clockwise from left to right through the top point.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Given x = 1 + 2cos(t), y = 2 - 5sin(t) and pi/3 <= t <= 4pi/3, choose the statement that matches the plotted path, motion direction, and the position at t = pi.

Aarc of an ellipse centered at (1, 2) with horizontal semi-axis 2 and vertical semi-axis 5; moves counterclockwise; position at t = pi is (-1, 2)

Barc of an ellipse centered at (1, 2) with horizontal semi-axis 5 and vertical semi-axis 2; moves clockwise; position at t = pi is (-1, 2)

Carc of an ellipse centered at (1, 2) with horizontal semi-axis 2 and vertical semi-axis 5; moves clockwise; position at t = pi is (-1, 2)

Darc of an ellipse centered at (1, 2) with horizontal semi-axis 2 and vertical semi-axis 5; moves clockwise; position at t = pi is (1, -3)

Solution & Explanation:Substituting t = pi into x(t) and y(t) gives (-1, 2). Recognizing the standard parametric form or eliminating t gives arc of an ellipse centered at (1, 2) with horizontal semi-axis 2 and vertical semi-axis 5. As t increases, the point moves clockwise.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A point moves according to x = 2 + 3cos(t), y = -4 + 3sin(t) with pi/6 <= t <= 7pi/6. What curve is traced, which way does the point move, and where is it at t = pi/2?

A180-degree arc of the circle centered at (2, -4) with radius 3; moves clockwise; position at t = pi/2 is (2, -1)

B180-degree arc of the circle centered at (-4, 2) with radius 3; moves counterclockwise; position at t = pi/2 is (2, -1)

C180-degree arc of the circle centered at (2, -4) with radius 3; moves counterclockwise; position at t = pi/2 is (5, -4)

D180-degree arc of the circle centered at (2, -4) with radius 3; moves counterclockwise; position at t = pi/2 is (2, -1)

Solution & Explanation:Substituting t = pi/2 into x(t) and y(t) gives (2, -1). Recognizing the standard parametric form or eliminating t gives 180-degree arc of the circle centered at (2, -4) with radius 3. As t increases, the point moves counterclockwise.
