Question 5 • Precalculus
As t ranges from −1.5 to 1.5, t² ranges from 0 to 2.25. Thus y = 6sin(t²) is positive for t² between 0 and 2.25, while x = 8cos(t²) is positive up to t² = π/2 and negative after that. The graph therefore lies in Quadrants I and II (also touching the positive x-axis at t = 0), so the correct choice is “Quadrants I and II.”
