(a) True or False: Each point in the plane has a unique representation in rectangular coordinates.

(b) True or False: Each point in the plane has a unique representation in polar coordinates.

(c) True or False: If b≠c, then the graphs of the polar equations r=band r=care different.

(d) True or False: If α≠β, then the graphs of the polar equations θ=αand θ=βare different.

(e) True or False: The graph of r=cscθfor -π2<θ<π2is a horizontal line in a polar coordinate system.

(f) True or False: In a polar coordinate system, the coordinates (r,θ)and (r,θ+π)represent the same point if and only if r=0.

Page 720

True/False: Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.

(a) True or False: Every function y=f(x)can be written in terms of parametric equations.

(b) True or False: Given parametric equations x=x(t)and y=y(t)the parameter can be eliminated to obtain the form y = f (x).

(c) True or False: Every parametric curve passes the vertical line test.

(d) True or False: Every curve in the plane has a unique expression in terms of parametric equations.

(e) True or False: If the functions x = f (t) and y = g(t) are differentiable for every t ∈ R, then the parametric curve defined by x and y is differentiable for every value of t.

(f) True or False: A curve parametrized by x = x(t), y = y(t) has a horizontal tangent line at (x(t0), y(t0)) if y (t) = 0.

(g) True or False: A curve parametrized by x = x(t), y = y(t) has a horizontal tangent line at (x(t0), y(t0)) if x (t) = 0 and y (t) = 0.

(h) True or False: The cycloid curve associated with a circle of radius r is made up of a series of semicircles of radius r.

An epicycloid is another variation of a cycloid in which the point tracing the path is on the circumference of a wheel, but the wheel is rolling without slipping on the outside of another wheel, instead of along a horizontal track. If the radius of the rolling wheel is k and the radius of the fixed wheel is r, find parametric equations for the epicycloid.
