Question

Graph the parametric equation:
x = 3 sin^3t
y = 3 cos^3t

Answer 1

@IMStuck @zepdrix

Answer 2

did you try just plotting some points for t = 0, pi/6, pi/4, pi/3, pi/2 ...

Answer 3

what do you mean?

Answer 4

for t=0

x = 3sin(0)^3 = 0
y = 3cos(0)^3 = 3
plot a point at (0,3)

Answer 5

so would I increase t to get other points? Like t=1, t=2, etc

Answer 6

no because theses are trig functions you want "t" to correspond to unit circle angles so that the sin and cos values are easy to find

Answer 7

so how would I get the other points?

Answer 8

i already suggested the t values in my first post

Answer 9

to do it faster all you need is:

t = 0, pi/4, pi/2, 3pi/4, pi ... until 2pi
