Consider a particle following the parametric equations

 

\(\begin{align*} x &= 1 + \sin (\pi t),\\ y &= 3 \sin (\pi t). \end{align*}\)

 

a) Give a precise description of the graph of these parametric equations if we allow  to be any real number.

b) Describe the path the particle takes from time  to .

c) Find a parametrization such that the graph of this parametrization from  to  matches our graph above, but the motion of the particle is different.

The path is an ellipse centered at (1,0), with the semi-minor axis (in the x-direction) of 1, and the semi-major axis (in the y-direction) of 3.
