^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

The angular position changes by pi/6 radians every second. Starting at angular position 0, the angular positions at t = 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 12 will be

Question: `q008. Where is the angular position 7 pi/3 located?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

At the pi/3 position.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aIf you have not done so you should refer to your figure showing the positions which are multiples of pi/6.

On your picture you will see that the sequence of angular positions 2 pi/3, pi, 4 pi/3, 5 pi/3, 2 pi, 7 pi/3 beginning in the first quadrant and moving through the second, third and fourth quadrants to the 2 pi position, then pi/3 beyond that to the 7 pi/3 position. The 7 pi/3 position is therefore identical to the pi/3 position.

Question: `q009. If the red ant starts at angular position pi/3 and moves at an angular velocity of pi/4 radians every second then what will be its angular position at the end of each of the first 8 seconds? Reduce your fractions to lowest terms.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

7 pi/3.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe angular position changes by pi/4 radians every second. Starting at angular position pi/3, the angular positions after successive seconds will be

pi/3 + pi/4,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4.

These fractions must be added before being reduced to lowest terms. In each case the fractions are added by changing each to the common denominator 12. This is illustrated for pi/3 + 3 pi/4:

We first multiply pi/3 by 4/4 and 3 pi/4 by 3/3, obtaining the fractions 4 pi/12 and 9 pi/12.

So the sum pi/3 + 3 pi/4 becomes 4 pi/12 + 9 pi/12, which is equal to 13 pi/12.

The fractions add up as follows:

pi/3 + pi/4 = 7 pi/12,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4 = 5 pi/6,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4 = 13 pi/12,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4 = 4 pi/3,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4 = 19 pi/12,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4 = 11 pi/6,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 = 25 pi/12 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4 = 7 pi / 3.
