Problem 1

Write the corresponding rectangular equation for the following parametric equation by eliminating tt. Draw a graph of the plane curve using the rectangular equation. Indicate the direction of the curve that is obtained by using arrows that correspond to the increasing values of tt.
x=4sint,y=4costx=4\(\sin\) t,y=4\(\cos\) t; 0t<2π0\(\leq{t}\]\lt{2\pi}\)
