Assignment A6

MATH141, May 2009

Please remember that, while WeBWorK can usually check only the correctness of your answers, your responsibility
in this course is to be able to justify your answers to problems of all these types, and others.
The assignment is due Tuesday, May 26, 2009, at 11:30 PM.
1. (1 pt) Consider the parametric curve given by the equations

(x(t),y(t)) between t=0, and t=16 ?

C: Circle centered at the origin, L: Line neither vertical nor


horizontal, P: Parabola, R: Circle not centered at the origin, S:
Spiral, V: Vertical Line, Z: Horizontal Line
POLAR EQUATIONS:
