Find the rectangular equation of the curve whose parametric equations are x=-cos t and y=sin t, 0 degrees<=t<=360 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rectangular equation? Do they mean the equation in the Cartesian coordinate system?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Making it multiple choice really kills the question. Anyway, just plug in the equations into x and y and you'll see whether they work or not.

It helps to know \[ \sin^2 t+\cos ^2t = 1 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
