Consider a circle of radius centered at , as in the figure. Let a line from the origin to a point on the circle intersect the line at . Finally, let be the point of intersection of a horizontal line through and a vertical line through . As , the angle makes with the positive -axis varies, point traces out a curve called the witch of Agnesi.

  (a) Find a vector-parametric equation for the point in terms of the parameter . Your answer should be of the form and include the angle brackets.
