If we start at the point (1, 0) and travel once around the unit circle, we travel a distance of 2? units and arrive back where we started at the point (1, 0). If we continue around the unit circle a second time, we will repeat all the values of x and y that occurred during our first trip around. Use this discussion to evaluate the expression. ?
