Question

I need to write a program in matlab that will draw the olympic circles.
I have been given the coordinates for the centers of the circles. Which are (1,2),(2,1),(3,2),(4,1),(5,2).
The colors from left to right are blue, yellow, green and red. Radius of the circles are 0.9.
For each circles I am supposed to find the x- and y-coordinates, I have been given these formulas to do so:

x = xs + 0.9cos(v) and y = ys + 0.9sin(v), where v is a vector with angle value from 0 to 2?. (xs,ys) is the coordinates for the center of a circle.

I am supposed to use For loop to create this program.
