b Describe the resulting graph. Is it the graph of a function?
c Evaluate x^2 +y^2. Hence determine the equation of this graph in terms ofxandyonly.
2 Use the graphing package to plot:
a f(x,y):x= 2 cost, y= sin(2t), 0 ± 6 t 6360 ±g
b f(x,y):x= 2 cost, y= 2 sin(3t), 0 ± 6 t 6360 ±g
c f(x,y):x= 2 cost, y= cost¡sint, 0 ± 6 t 6360 ±g
d f(x,y):x= cos^2 t+ sin 2t, y= cost, 0 ± 6 t 6360 ±g
e f(x,y):x= cos^3 t, y= sint, 0 ± 6 t 6360 ±g
Angles which are multiples of¼ 6 and¼ 4 occur frequently, so it is important for us to write their trigonometric
ratios exactly.

Triangle OBP is isosceles as angle OPB
also measures 45 ±.
Letting OB=BP=a,

) a=p^12 fas a> 0 g
So, P is (p^12 ,p^12 ) where p^12 ¼ 0 : 707.
cos¼ 4 =p^12 and sin¼ 4 =p^12
You should remember these values. If you forget, draw a right angled
isosceles triangle with equal sides of length 1.
