14:37:54 `q006. Sketch a circle centered at the origin of an x-y coordinate system, depicting the angular positions pi/4, pi/2, 3 pi/4, pi, 5 pi/4, 3 pi/2, 7 pi/4, and 2 pi. What are the angular positions of the following points: The point 1/2 of the way along the arc between (0,1) and (-1,0) The point 1/2 of the way along the arc from (0, -1) to (1,0) The point 1/2 of the way along the arc from (0,-1) to (0, -1)?

......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:39:18 The point lying 1/2 of the way along the arc between the points (0,1) and (-1,0) (the topmost and leftmost points of the circle) is at angular position 3 pi/4. The point lying 1/2 of the way along the arc between the points (0,-1) and (1,0) is at angular position 7 pi/4. The point lying 1/2 of the way along the arc between the points (-1,0) and (0,-1) is at angular position 5 pi/4. These angles are shown in Figure 21. Note that the degree equivalents of the angles are also given.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I may be mistake but I thought that the last part of the problem said which point lies halfway between (0,-1) and (0,-1). I could be wrong about that though. self critique assessment: 2

14:41:45 `q007. If the red ant starts at angular position pi/3 and moves at an angular velocity of pi/3 radians every second then what will be its angular position at the end of each of the first 6 seconds? Reduce your fractions to lowest terms.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> pi/3, 2pi/3, pi, 4pi/3, 5pi/3, 2pi confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:43:17 The angular position changes by pi/3 radians every second. Starting at angular position pi/3, the angular positions after successive seconds will be 2 pi/3, 3 pi/3, 4 pi/3, 5 pi/3, 6 pi/3 and 7 pi/3, which reduce to 2 pi/3, pi, 4 pi/3, 5 pi/3, 2 pi and 7 pi/3.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I started one point too soon which led to me ended too soon. This is why my point list starts at pi/3 and stops short of 7pi/3. self critique assessment: 2

14:44:40 `q008. Where is the angular position 7 pi/3 located?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 7pi/3 is located at the same point on the circle as pi/3, it just takes a little more than a full revolution to get to the point. confidence assessment: 2

......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:45:07 If 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.

RESPONSE --> Got this one. self critique assessment: 2

15:06:18 `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.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> This one has me pretty stumped. I would think that in order to combine the two values you would have to find a common value they would both work with. This would be pi/12. This in turn would shift the starting point to pi/4. So the points at the end of each second would be: pi/2, 3pi/4, pi, 5pi/4, 3pi/2, 7pi/4, 2pi, 9pi/4 confidence assessment: 1

......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:12:45 The 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 = 14 pi / 3.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I was not sure about this one. I did understand finding the common denominator, I just went about converting my fractions. I know for future reference that you must add your fractions and then simplify. self critique assessment: 2
