Graph several members of the family of curves with parametric equations x = t + a cos(t), y=t+a sin(t), where a > 0. How does the shape change as a increases? As a increases the curves start having loops. The size of these loops increase with larger values of a. For what values of a does the curve have a loop? (Round your values to one decimal place. Enter your answer using interval notation.)

Graph several members of the family of curves with parametric equations x = t + a cos(t), y=t+a sin(t), where a > 0. How does the shape change as a increases?
As a increases
the curves start having loops. The size of these loops increase with larger
values of a.
For what values of a does the curve have a loop? (Round your values to one decimal place. Enter your answer using interval notation.)
