At constant speed, a wheel rotates once counterclockwise every 10 seconds. The center
- f the wheel is (0, 0) and its radius is 1 foot. A
paint spot is ini1ally at (1, 0); where is it t seconds later?

Quinn is running around the circular track x2+y2 = 10000, whose radius is 100 meters, at 4 meters per second. Quinn starts at the point (100, 0) and runs in the counterclockwise
- direc1on. AGer 30 minutes of running, what are
Quinn’s coordinates?

Represen1ng one unit by at least five squares on your graph paper, draw the unit circle, which is centered at the origin and goes through point A = (1, 0). Use a protractor to mark the third-quadrant point P on the circle for which arc AP has angular size 215 degrees. Es1mate the coordinates of P, reading from your graph
- paper. No1ce that both are nega1ve numbers. Turn on
your calculator and ask for the cosine and sine values of a 215-degree angle. Do further explora1on, then explain why sine and cosine are known as circular func/ons.
