OpenStudy (amistre64):

are you starting at 9,3 ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when t=0, x=9, y=3 that is not what your solutions give us

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sin(u) = 1 when u = pi/2 if u = t/2 + k, when t=0, what is k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get what you're saying. I see the problem but I am unsure exactly what you're asking. How do I change the starting points?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

by shifting the phase of the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so inside the sin function it will be something along the lines of (t/2+c) where c is a constant that shifts the function to 9,3.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes or, replacing the constants

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x = 9+0 = 9 y = 9-6 = 3 maybe,

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i thinkphase shift might be the way to approch it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i tried just changing constants didnt work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oksy yeah by adding (pi/2) inside each trig function shifted it thank you
