- $x= t^2-t, y=t^3-2t^2+t $
- $x= 1-\sin t, y=\cos t(1-\sin t)$
Find cartesian equations.
For 1, I have $x=t(t-1), y=t(t-1)^2$, then $y/x= t-1$ and $t=(y/x)+1$. $x=(y^2+xy)/x^2$, then $x=(y^2+xy)^{1/3}$. Is there an explicit solution?
For 2, I have $t= \sin^{-1}(1-x)$ so $$y=\cos(\sin^{-1}(1-x))(1-\sin(\sin^{-1}(1-x)))= x^{3/2}(2-x)^{1/2}.$$ Is this correct ?
