1.
a) x = 4cos^2t-2sin^2t
cos2t = 2cos^2t - 1 = 1 - 2sin^2t
so x = (4/2)(1+cos2t) - (2/2)(1-cos2t)
= 1 + 3cos2t
x' = -6sin2t
x"= -12cos2t
= -4((1+3cos2t)-1)
=-4(x-1)
b) -2<=x<=4
Period = 2pi/n = pi
c) to reach origin, particle moves 4m,
solve 0 = 1 + 3cos2t
cos2t = -1/3
t = 0.955
ie 1.0 seconds
2
(x+8)^2 + (x+12)^2 = 20^2
and expand
3.
dx/dt = sinxcosx
dt/dx = 1/sinxcosx
t = ln(tanx) + C
e^(t-c) = tanx
x = tan(-1)e^(t)
as t --> infinity, x -->pi/2
sketch urself

bah can't be bothered doin... too many sections
If you really need it, I'll do it later... kind of in a rush rite now.
If i got any wrong, it's cuz I suck + in rush.
Cheers
