Answer:

A and C

Explanation:

Easiest way is to plug in values of t and trace the graph.

A (x, y) = (sin(t), cos(t))

At t = 0, (x, y) = (0, 1).

At t = π/2, (x, y) = (1, 0).

So the particle starts at (0, 1) and moves clockwise. The period of sin(t) and cos(t) is 2π, so for 0 < t < 2π, the particle makes 1 revolution.

B (x, y) = (-sin(t), cos(t))

At t = 0, (x, y) = (0, 1).

At t = π/2, (x, y) = (-1, 0).

So the particle starts at (0, 1) and moves counterclockwise. The period of sin(t) and cos(t) is 2π, so for 0 < t < 4π, the particle makes 2 revolutions.

C (x, y) = (cos(4πt), sin(4πt))

At t = 0, (x, y) = (1, 0).

At t = 1/8, (x, y) = (0, 1).

So the particle starts at (1, 0) and moves counterclockwise. The period of sin(4πt) and cos(4πt) is 1/2, so for 0 < t < 1, the particle makes 2 revolutions.

D (x, y) = (cos(2πt), -sin(2πt))

At t = 0, (x, y) = (1, 0).

At t = 1/4, (x, y) = (0, -1).

So the particle starts at (1, 0) and moves clockwise. The period of sin(2πt) and cos(2πt) is 1, so for 0 < t < 1, the particle makes 1 revolution.
