With    5   rotations,  the circle  covers  a   total   distance    equal   to  5   times   the circumference.

The circumference   of  a   circle  of  radius  1   is  2π, so  5   times   that    is  10π.    Of  that    total   distance
10 π, is on the incline.

The other    is the distance    traveled    along   the x-axis, so  the x-coordinate    of  the
endpoint is

44 . B
Sine is negative in the third and fourth quadrants. Cosine is negative in the second and third,
so I is not necessarily true. Cosecant is 1 over sine, so where sine is negative, so is cosecant.
Therefore II must be true. As for III: Absolute values are always nonnegative. The issue here is
whether sin x + cos x can equal 0.


In  fact,   if  x   is   ,  then     and     ;  sin x   +   cos x   =   0 when  .

Square  the answer  choices until   you find    one that    gives   you 8   −    6 i.   Start   with    choice  (A):

To  find    the area    of  the rectangle,  you need    the base    and height. Both    parabolas   are
symmetric with respect to the y-axis, so if the x-coordinate of point B is −1.50, the length of
segment BC, which is the base of the rectangle, is twice 1.50, or 3. To find the height of the
