Answer

$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x=3\sin t, & \\ y=9\sin^{2}t, & \end{array}\right.\quad t\in[0,+\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Using the fact that $\sin t\in[-1,1]$ we can keep x between $-3$ and $3$ with $x=3\sin t$. We want x to start at 0, so we start with t=0 (restrict t to $[0,+\infty)$ ) Substituting x in $y=x^{2}$, $y=(3\sin t)^{2}$ $y=9\sin^{2}t$ So, we can have the following: $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x=3\sin t, & \\ y=9\sin^{2}t, & \end{array}\right.\quad t\in[0,+\infty)$
