Question:

Follow the instructions of Problem 59 for the case b > a (a flanged wheel, as on a train), showing that you get the same parametric equations. Sketch the graph of these equations (called a prolate cycloid) when a = 6 and b = 8.
In Problem 59
Show that the corresponding parametric equations are
x = at - b sin t, y = a - b cos t
