Question 1192152: What is the function for the height of point P above the x-axis as a function of the angle theta for a circle of radius 3 and center at (3,3)?
I have the equation y=3sin(x)+3, but I am not sure how to incorporate the x coordinate of the circle's center

The equation which you have and post in your message is INCORRECT.


The correct equation is

    y = 3%2Asin%28theta%29+%2B+3.


You do not need to incorporate the x coordinate of the circle's center into calculation of the y-coordinate,
since it is not relevant.

Solved.
