An object is moving in the plane according to these parametric equations:
x(t) = πt + cos(4πt + π/2)
y(t) = sin(4πt + π/2)
A portion of the "cycloidal" path (on the time interval [0,1]) is shown in this figure:
At time t=0, the object is located at (0,1). Give EXACT ANSWERS to all questions below; use pi to denote the number π.
AThe horizontal velocity is .
BThe vertical velocity is .
CThe slope of the tangent line to the path at time t is
DThe equation of the tangent line to the path at time t=1/6 is
y = (x - ) +
EThe first time the tangent line is vertical will be t=
(f) The second time the tangent line is vertical will be t=
(g) What is the maximum horizontal velocity?
(h) What is the minimum horizontal velocity?

(j)Compute s'(t)=
(k) The maximum speed is
(l) The minimum speed is
