Interlude 1: Exercise 1

Explanation
This is a straightforward exercise in plotting points in a coordinate system. In the first edition, the last formula should read xHtL = sin2 t - cos t.

Hint
Begin by entering the formula into your graphing system. Then set the range of the graphing.

Answer
f HtL = t 4 + 3 t 3 - 12 t 2 + t - 6

In Mathematica we write,
