Parametric Equations for the Unit Circle
Consider the parameterization given by the equations $$x(t)=\cos(t)$$ and $$y(t)=\sin(t)$$, which corresponds to the rectangular equation $$x^2+y^2=1$$.
I. Substituting the parametric equations into the rectangular equation results in the identity $$\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t)=1$$.
II. The curve traced by the parameterization is only the upper half of the circle.
III. The parameterization represents a circle with a radius of 1.
Which of the above statements are true?
A
Only statements II and III are true.
B
Only statement I is true.
C
All statements I, II, and III are true.
D
Only statements I and III are true.
