Problem

For a particle, the velocity components are dxdt=cos⁡(t+π4)\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\cos\bigl(t+\tfrac{\pi}{4}\bigr) and dydt=sin⁡(t+π4)\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\sin\bigl(t+\tfrac{\pi}{4}\bigr). At time t=−π4t=-\tfrac{\pi}{4} the particle is located at (2,0)(2,0). Determine the parametric equations x(t)x(t) and y(t)y(t) valid for all real tt.
