  1. Think About a Plan At exactly 22 , and 1 half minutes after the hour, the minute hand of a clock is at point P, as shown in the diagram. Several minutes later, it has rotated theta degrees clockwise to point Q. The coordinates of point Q are open cosine minus open theta plus 45 degrees close comma sine minus open theta plus 45 degrees close close . Write the coordinates of point Q in terms of cosine theta and sine theta .

  5. Gears The diagram below shows a gear whose radius is 10 cm. Point A represents a 60 degrees counterclockwise rotation of point P(10, 0). Point B represents a theta -degree rotation of point A. The coordinates of B are open 10 cosine open theta plus 60 degrees close comma 10 sine open theta plus 60 degrees close close . Write these coordinates in terms of cosine theta and sine theta .

    A gear of radius 10 is centered on the origin O of the xy-plane. There are three points on the edge: P (10, 0); A, 60 degrees counterclockwise from P; and B in quadrant 2, angle theta counterclockwise from A.

Rewrite each expression as a trigonometric function of a single angle measure.
